 GROCERY EXPRESS VOLUNTEER

 

DESCRIPTION:

Grocery Express volunteers will provide shopping and delivery services to homebound, older adults who cannot do their own shopping. Some clients may not need services every week. Shopping should be done as soon as conveniently possible. If you are not able to provide delivery of essential supplies or prescriptions within 48 hours (or time specified by client) please call the program Coordinator and we will make other arrangements. The grocery list, including brand preferences, sizes, and money limitations, should be followed precisely when possible. Volunteers should save all receipts to give to the client.  Volunteers will contact the client at a scheduled time each week to check on their shopping needs.  

 

DATE AND TIMES NEEDED:

Maximum of one time per week.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

1.    Attend Orientation training.

2.    Meet with assigned client(s) to determine grocery needs, and shopping schedule, brand preferences, and money limitations.  This will be arranged with the Homebound Services Coordinator.

3.    Receive payment of a check made out to the store.

4.    Shop for groceries or prescriptions in a timely manner and 

       deliver promptly.

5.    Provide information link between CSS and client. Send in Monthly Report Forms to CSS.

6.    Provide feedback (suggestions or criticisms), to Homebound Services Coordinator on quality of program and services to clients.  

 

 

If you want to volunteer and/or have any questions, please contact Fran Billingsley at Community and Senior Services at 432/689-6693 or email her at mowvol@cssmidland.org.
