Delivery Prep & Delivery Driving
Monday through Friday
Delivery Preparation 1:00 – 4:15 pm
Delivery room preparation involves opening up paper bags, loading correct food items, and packing thermal bags with hot entrees. When delivery drivers arrive, one volunteer greets drivers outside while the other two volunteers shuttle meal bags out to our loading dock. Good for detail-oriented people. Volunteers work in a team of three.

Delivery Driver Volunteer
Monday through Friday
3:30 – 5:30 pm
Delivery driver volunteers pick up meals between 3:15 – 4:15 pm. Volunteers use their own vehicle to drive the same route each week. Routes are in the city limits, have approximately 5 – 10 stops and are grouped by location.

Substitutes – As needed throughout the year
Substitute delivery drivers, delivery preparation, and kitchen volunteers have built-in flexibility. This is a good option for people who travel a lot. Sign up for a shift when available, but you won’t be expected each week. Delivery substitutes are in high demand.

Kitchenality
Monday – Saturday 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Kitchenality is our resale store that sells new and gently used kitchen and entertainment items. Front of house tasks include customer service and working the cash register, while back of house washes, processes & prices merchandise. Must have good people skills and be cash register savvy to work in the store.

Encore Bites
Once per month. Our snack program happens on the third week of each month. We need two volunteers to work a late shift in the kitchen preparing fresh vegetables and dip (2:30 – 4:00 pm). We also need two volunteers to set up and pack bags of snacks in our warehouse (10 – 12), and two volunteers to load those bags into our client meal bags (1:30 – 3:00 pm).

Caring Callers
Volunteers offer friendship through a weekly scheduled phone call with one of our homebound clients. This program aims to decrease loneliness and build connection through conversation that breaks isolation and builds rapport.
