Meals on Wheels Drivers - Tokoroa

We are looking for keen and committed volunteers to contribute as a Volunteer Meals on Wheels Driver on weekdays.
You will be a vital part of our volunteer family and will be making a direct contribution to those who need it the most, especially the elderly, sick and those unable to cook their own meals.
Your support will not just provide them with a chance at a healthy meal but also give them a friendly in person interaction with an awesome volunteer like yourself.
You will be joining a team of volunteers who ensure the most vulnerable in our community have a hot healthy meal on a daily basis.

• Role description: Our Meals on Wheels service supports older, ill, and disabled people living at home who would otherwise struggle to provide healthy meals for themselves. We need volunteers keen to deliver hot meals and a friendly chat, to people in need across New Zealand.

• Your Tasks:

• Pick up meals at 11:00am from the pick-up point in your car.

• Meals are packed in insulated chilly bins.

• Deliver meals to people and have a brief chat at the door.

• Return chilly bins to the pick-up point

• Go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.

• Volunteer requirements and training: You’ll need to be a friendly person who has their own car and a full driver license. We’ll train you in how to carry out the role and you’ll be supported by Red Cross volunteers or staff members.

• Meals on Wheels volunteer onboarding may take anywhere between 2-6 weeks depending on your availability and the availability of the local coordinator. NZ Police response time can vary from a few days to about a month after we submit the Police Vet request.

• You'll need to follow our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policies and procedures, which will be advised during training.

• Apply Online on the Red Cross website
