Senior Chore Service Volunteers
- If you’d like to volunteer once or on an on-going basis, especially for an individual senior, or
- If you belong to a university or community group who can provide volunteers for a one-time service project, please contact us:
Program Coordinator (509) 332-9627 Programs@PullmanCCoA.org
Individual volunteers need to complete the application, which includes a Washington State background check. Completed applications should be submitted to the Program Coordinator either through email or via mail. Applicants will be contacted for an interview before being matched with a senior.
For university or community groups or businesses, only the team leader(s) are required to complete the application process.
Current SCS volunteer opportunities
- Winter 2020-2021 — on-call snow shoveling volunteers are needed throughout town. We match volunteers with a senior in their neighborhood whenever possible. Several Meals on Wheels clients especially need shoveling help to ensure the safety of the volunteers delivering their meals.
- Companion for semi-monthly visits with a senior, to enable spouse to run errands. Each visit would last approximately an hour.
Meals on Wheels Volunteers
A combination of sustaining individual volunteers and groups of volunteers provided by churches and other organizations make daily delivery possible. Meals are delivered between 11:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., with each delivery route including 6 – 8 homes and taking approximately an hour to complete.
If you or your group are interested in supporting homebound seniors through meal delivery, please contact us:
Program Coordinator (509) 332-9627 Programs@PullmanCCoA.org
Individual volunteers need to complete a MoW volunteer registration every two years, which includes a Washington State background check. If you are volunteering through a church or community group or business, please contact your group’s coordinator for further instructions.
Current Meals on Wheels volunteer opportunities
- Sustaining volunteers who deliver meals on a regular basis, such as once a week or once a month, are always appreciated.
- We have one-week and two-week delivery spots available in 2021. We usually have 2 routes each day, with each needing 1 – 2 volunteers.
