Do you enjoy interacting with seniors?
Would you be willing to spare a few hours each month to connect with an isolated senior over a shared meal?
We would love to hear from you!
The Compassionate Neighbourhood Health Partners Society (CNHPS) recently received approval for a grant to fund a new social meals program. Volunteers will be matched with a senior and will share a monthly meal with them in the senior’s home. Meals for both volunteers and seniors will be provided.
Once per month, volunteers will:
- Pick up a prepared meal at 11:30am from a designated kitchen for themselves and their matched senior or couple
- Bring the meal to the senior’s house
- Eat the meal together over a one-hour social time with the senior
- Return the insulated bag and garbage to the designated kitchen
These activities will take place monthly on either a Wednesday or a Friday.
Successful applicants will:
- Agree to an interview by phone
- Complete CNHPS’s orientation process (submit a volunteer application form, attend a virtual orientation session, complete a criminal record check, and sign volunteer consent forms)
- Submit a clean criminal record check (can be completed online via the iVolunteer site, or contact us if you prefer to submit a paper copy to the local police station)
- Live in Chilliwack or be willing to come to Chilliwack to participate
