Volunteer for our NEW Respite Program - Rest & Rec!

Flexible Schedule | Ashland, WI 54806

We are partnering with local churches to offer respite relief for our caregivers while offering recreation and socialization to their loved ones! We offer free training. We will start in Ashland with a site at the United Presbyterian Congregational Church, which has generously donated its space for the program. We will need at least three people to run a shift from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day is not set yet. We will offer a pre-packaged meal at lunchtime. There will be opportunities to help with craft projects, play cards, read to seniors, play games, put together puzzles, or do crosswords or word finds. Some days may offer the opportunity to take the group for a walk or go on the bus to the movies or historical society. Simple but fun activities to pass the time and be social. Call for more information about volunteering or if your church would like to be a new respite site. Talk to Laura or Jana - 715-682-4414

Meals on Wheels delivery volunteers and substitutes

Flexible Schedule | Ashland, WI 54806

Drivers deliver meals Monday through Friday at our Ashland site, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at our other sites in Sanborn, Mellen, Glidden, and Butternut. Daily route drivers pick up meals at 11:00 a.m. at the local meal site. These routes take about an hour to complete. 10 - 17 meals. Rural delivery routes take a bit more time. When finished, drivers leave the empty bags and meal containers inside at the meal site location. Daily route drivers use their own vehicles. The wellness check, personal interaction, and smiles volunteers provide give clients a social and emotional boost, which is at least as important as the food they are getting! Volunteer drivers must be 18 or older, have a vehicle, a valid driver’s license, and proof of current auto insurance. We provide a mileage reimbursement, if you choose to collect, and volunteer insurance over and above your personal insurance.
