We need:
Drivers for Meals on Wheels
Volunteer Coordinator: Tammy
You will be joining a crowd of wonderful people from all over the Tri-Cities who deliver nutritious meals to older adults. Do it twice a month, once a week, or every day. We also need people on our sub list for when others call in. It’s 2-hours (10 am-noon) for as many weekdays as you like. Meals are delivered to older adults in Fremont, Newark, and Union City.
Transportation Program Drivers
Volunteer Coordinator: Andrea M.
Pick up an older adult at their home, take them shopping or to an appointment. Some need visual guidance, a steady arm, or help reaching for groceries. Rides take about 2 hours each. Flexible weekday scheduling.
Friendly Visitors
Volunteer Coordinator: Linda
You are able to see the biographies of older adults and choose the one you think you would like as a friend. Volunteers give 2 hours per week at whatever time suits both people. You will love doing this!

Volunteering During Covid-19 Crisis
-
In these times especially — the health, safety and well-being of all — is our top priority. If you are a volunteer who is 65+ or caring for/living with anyone who is 65+ — please DO NOT VOLUNTEER.
-
If you are showing symptoms or are in close contact with anyone showing symptoms — please DO NOT VOLUNTEER. We would like you to stay home and stay safe.
-
We have modified distribution of food — to enable us to intentionally run on a small crew of volunteers during our regular hours. We only require a small number of volunteers on site at any given time.
-
If you want to be put on a wait list to volunteer — please email your name and phone number to volunteer@tcvfoodbank.org. Stephanie will call you if we need help at short notice.
Thank you so much for your support!
