Description
Volunteers shop on behalf of the client from a list of groceries needed. Depending on service demand and volunteer availability, volunteers may shop for the same client or different clients.
Volunteers may also support a client for a grocery store - picking them up from their home, assisting them in the store as needed, and driving them and their groceries home again.
Flexible time commitment - you let us know when you are available from week to week! Mileage reimbursements available.
Keep the Scheduling team informed regarding availability and immediately report any problems and/or concerns you may have.
