WHITE ROSE SENIOR CENTER IS LOOKING FOR HOME DELIVERED MEAL DRIVERS
Are you looking for a rewarding volunteer job? White Rose Senior Center is looking for YOU!
Home Delivered Meals are delivered currently one time a week to homebound older adults that the York County Area Agency on Aging have assessed and deemed appropriate. We may start delivering Monday, Wednesday and Friday this summer so we are looking for several people to join our TEAM!
White Rose Senior Center has 10 routes that vary with a few clients to upwards of 28 clients. The route may take 1- 1 1/2 hours and the meals are ready for delivery about 10:00 on Mondays.
You need to have a car, a valid driver's license, and enjoy older adults. You may be the only person that the client may see all day. Our drivers LOVE this volunteer opportunity and have made great friends with those that they serve.
If you are interested, please contact Lisa Krout at White Rose Senior Center (717-843-9704) for additional information. She can set up a "ride along" with an experienced driver to see if you may like helping an older adult in our community in this way!

(Joel Krout is picking up meals for his parent's, Bob and Kaye Krout. Bob has been under the weather all of this week, so we are glad they have a great son who looks after them! Lisa is pretty fortunate too to be married to him!)
