With the increase in client count since the COVID-19 crisis they are now serving more seniors than ever and have 70 routes daily to cover. Deliveries take about 2 hours to complete, and pickup time is anytime between 9:45 am – 11:00 am. A short orientation is conducted before leaving for your first delivery. Volunteer opportunities are available seasonally (summer with kids), regularly scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, monthly route, or as a substitute whenever you are available.
