As a Grocery Shopper volunteer, you will shop for the items by yourself and then drop them off at the client’s home.

You will coordinate a regular shopping schedule directly with the client. In this program, you will be paired with a senior to assist them on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to shop for essential items they need during the current crisis. Many of our seniors are unable to go to a nearby grocery store in their neighborhood to shop for food and household items. Grocery shop for an isolated and homebound senior.

To become a Volunteer for Friendly Social Call, Grocery Shopper, or Home Delivered Grocery Programs, you will need to submit an application.

Service with us is more than volunteerism, it’s an opportunity to connect with the community through shared moments of compassion and understanding.ĭuring the COVID-19 crisis, we have adapted many of our volunteer programs as we are concerned for the safety of all our volunteers, clients, and staff. Together, our volunteers provide on average 15,000 hours of service per year! Our volunteer programs and training also provide participants with an empowering experience. We welcome thousands of individuals each year from every sector of the community to engage in direct service to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities who also are experiencing isolation, loneliness, and in some cases extreme poverty. Volunteers are what make our work possible.
