Volunteer
Meals on Wheels Driver
We are currently looking for people with a big beautiful heart to help us out. Meals on Wheels drivers deliver a warm meal to about 20 senior recipients along a certain route. You will get to know folks who really need your help; it is very rewarding to not only provide essential nutrients, but a wellness check—a short conversation to ensure their well being. After a period of time you will get to know them and can tell if something is wrong. That’s when you report back to the Center and we will take it from there. Whether you can volunteer every day or for only 2 hours per week (the average time to complete one route) or more, your services will be greatly appreciated by the 240 seniors we provide daily meals to.
Silver Squad Wellness Caller
Although necessary for the health of our seniors, we see this change as a huge sacrifice; the daily, in-person wellness checks provided by our drivers both combat isolation and ensure mental and physical wellbeing. Therefore, in March of 2020, we established our Silver Squad Wellness Callers program to continue to provide this essential service. If talking with local seniors for 1-3 hours a week to assess their needs interests you, consider becoming a part of the Silver Squad Wellness Callers!
If you are interested in volunteering in any of these roles, you can:
- Call the Senior Center at (907) 452 – 1735
- Complete this fillable form (also linked below) and email it to Ashley at [email protected] or
Volunteer Membership
We encourage our volunteers to become Senior Center members, as these funds are vital for our programs, but a membership is not required to volunteer. We are immensely grateful for all the time that volunteers have contributed.
Volunteer Reimbursement
A volunteer should not expect to receive any form of payment or benefits unless agreed upon before service begins.
