Volunteer Drivers
As a driver you get to take hot meals to clients who are primarily homebound or unable to prepare nutritious meals. All of them enjoy a smiling face and look forward to seeing a volunteer driver for some friendly conversation. Volunteers use their own car and gas. The routes are very manageable. Directions are provided. We ask that our volunteers arrive at the hospital between 11 and 11:30a.m. Actual meal delivery take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the size of the route. Businesses and organizations see our “Adopt a Route.”
Office Volunteers
The office staff positions include answering phones, filing, and general office duties. It is a very important position. As an office volunteer you are the first point of contact for our clients and our volunteer drivers. Typically, our office volunteers work from 10:30-12:30 to help out during the high phone volume. Other shifts are available on an as need basis.
Meal Coordinators
A meal coordinator is someone that matches the list of clients with the meals prepared to ensure accuracy. This person also hands the meals to the drivers to ensure the meals are matched with the right driver. Meals coordinators arrive at Poudre Valley Hospital around 10:40a.m. and are usually finished around 11:40 and sometimes are needed to take a last minute route if available.
Substitutes
We are always in need of substitutes for all areas to be available when our regular volunteers are not.
Special Projects
We also have volunteer groups who help create special items to deliver to clients on holidays and other times throughout the year such as handmade cards, placemats, flower vases, etc. If you or your group is interested in doing a special project please contact us with your idea or suggestion.
Fundraising
Fundraisers help us raise much needed revenue to support our program and provide client subsidies. If you are interested in helping plan a fundraiser or have a great idea for an event we would love to hear from you!
