But what makes this a unique service is that it allows for people under 60 years of age to participate. This is a weekday program. Volunteers are asked to drive at least one time per month. The time needed is approximately one hour. Several businesses provide teams to deliver each month.
Orientation is held throughout the year for new volunteers to attend.
The new drivers are encouraged to ride along with an experienced volunteer. Teams are encouraged but are not a requirement. Volunteers assist with various office duties such as returning phone calls, stuffing envelopes, data entry, and more. Volunteers are also needed in the afternoons to answer phones. Other tasks include such projects as painting, repairing leaky faucets, building handrails, cleaning flower beds, and minor tree trimming.
