VOLUNTEERING – We need your help!

Are you looking to give back to your community? Do you like helping people? Do you enjoy driving & you have spare time?

“ The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.” – John Mulhall

 

Volunteer Opportunties:

1. The Senior Nutrition Program is looking for volunteers to deliver home-delivered meals. Meal Sites are located in Durand, Pepin, Nelson, Buffalo City, Gilmanton, and Mondovi. The need for drivers varies based on the location. 

2. The Transportation Program is looking for volunteers to take individuals to and from medical and non-medical appointments. Appointments vary in length, location, and frequency. 

Volunteers choose how, where, and how often they want to serve in their community.  Volunteers drivers are reimbursed for mileage when using their own vehicle. There may be some opportunities to use a county vehicle, however no mileage reimbursment is provided if this is the case.
