    Description

    Soup and Casserole Courier

    OUR GREATEST NEEDS ARE LOCATED IN DAUPHIN, CUMBERLAND, AND YORK COUNTIES!

    Like to drive and be greeted with smiles? Help Homeland Hospice provide a unique and extra level of support to our patients and their families!

    Deliver homemade frozen soups and casseroles to patients and/or families in our service area. Many deliveries do not include direct contact; meals are left on porches or quickly handed off to family members. The volunteer would document interaction/visits with patients and families and return the documentation within three days to the Volunteer Coordinator.

    Volunteers are required to complete an orientation program which can be done as a self study in the volunteer's home at your own pace. Also required is a background check and 2-stepp PPD (TB) test. Homeland Hospice pays for this check and test.

    Time Commitment: Will vary, but approximately 4-6 hours per month. Volunteer can set own daytime/weekday hours that correspond with Homeland Hospice office hours (8:00 AM-5:00 PM), to pick up meals and patient's/family's schedule.

    Requirements:

    • Reliable transportation
    • Good driving record
    • Willing to be consistent (weather permitting) with delivery schedule
    • Occasional flexibility in delivering a meal ASAP due to family need
    • The Homeland Hospice office is located in Harrisburg, but serves 14 counties in South Central PA, including - Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Northumberland, Perry, Schuylkill, York.*
