| Skills, Experience, and Special Requirements: | A Meals on Wheels volunteer should have an interest in helping the elderly and be
able to empathize with the medical and social conditions of their clients. Meals on
Wheels provides not only a nutritious meal but also personal connection that many
recipients lack and need. The volunteer may be the only person the recipient sees
all day long, so a caring, positive attitude is essential. In case of an emergency,
volunteers are trained to immediately call 911 and then the Program Supervisor. |
