"MEALS-ON-WHEELS"

Time:

11:00 – 12:00 Monday through Friday. Usually a volunteer will choose one day a week or allow us to call them on a substitute basis.

There are several different “runs” from the Center each weekday. They currently are as follows:  Barnard, Bridgewater, Pomfret, Woodstock.

Responsibilities:

  1. Deliver meals to homebound or convalescing individuals.
  2. Act as liaison between the center and the homebound.
  3. Notify the center office staff if any one on your route did not answer their door or you have other concerns.
Duties:
  1. Arrive at the center a few minutes before 11:00am. Pick up the meals from the kitchen.
  2. Be sure to count all of your bags & hot meals, which are separate from the bags so that you have the correct number of each. If you have questions ask the kitchen staff before you leave.
  3. Deliver meals to the designated people. If anyone does not answer the door, do not leave the meal (unless you have received other specific instructions).
  4. Notify the office staff if anyone was not at home or if you have other concerns.
  5. Record your hours/miles in the volunteer logbook on the receptionist’s desk.
