Yes, we could really use your volunteer assistance. Home Delivered Meal Drivers deliver a nutritious midday meal to the homebound, frail elderly of Dutchess County from one of our 8 OFA Friendship Centers. Most drivers volunteer once a week for a route that takes under one hour. Other arrangements can also be made. Centers are located in the City of Poughkeepsie, City of Beacon, and the towns of Fishkill, East Fishkill, Pawling, Poughkeepsie and Red Hook, the village of Millerton and hamlet of South Amenia. We can work with wherever you are able and willing to drive, and with whatever your schedule is. Contact us to learn more about mileage reimbursement, insurance and other issues.

Virtual Opportunity
The Dutchess County Office for the Aging Friendly Calls Program connects volunteers ages 18 and over with "friends" through weekly telephone conversations that foster connection, reduce social isolation and cultivate relationships between participants. "Friends" include older adults, individuals with disabilities and caregivers who sign up to receive weekly 20-to-30-minute calls from a volunteer for 8 weeks, which can be extended if both individuals express interest. Participants and volunteers are screened for appropriateness before being matched. Volunteers begin their role in the program with an orientation session usually held at OFA headquarters in Poughkeepsie, and can make Friendly Calls from anywhere.
