Meals on Wheels Delivery Driver

Description:

The Meals on Wheels program provides older adults and adults with different abilities (who for various reasons are unable to cook their own meals) with nutritious, hot and/or frozen meals. Meals are delivered by volunteers over the lunch hour, while also providing a short friendly chat and a check on their wellbeing; enabling our clients in Waterloo Region to live at home with independence and dignity.

Tasks:

During a Meals on Wheels delivery shift, volunteers will:

• Deliver hot and/or frozen meals to clients as per the order given on the route sheets (approximately 7-13 clients, varying on the day and service demand)
• Carry out brief security check and provide social contact to clients
• Report any undelivered meals or absent clients to the office
• Report any concerns you may have about clients to the office
• Treat all information regarding clients on your route with complete confidentiality

Needs:

Currently there in extra need for spare volunteers with a flexible schedule - especially over the summer.
