Volunteers are needed to pick up our hot, prepared meals at a local senior citizens center and deliver them to the seniors on any one of 83 different routes we deliver daily. Each route contains between 10 and 30 stops on it, and it generally takes a volunteer between one and two hours to complete their duties which include picking the prepared meals up, delivering them to the senior citizens on their route, notating on the route sheet whether or not the meal was successfully delivered, and then returning the delivery bags and coolers to the senior center.
