Driver and Assistant for Meals on Wheels

A friendly volunteer driver is required by St Andrew's Meals on Wheels to provide an important service to many elderly and disabled clients and carers residing in the Townsville district. Our volunteer assistant needs to be physically fit to be able to assist a driver and follow instructions. Looking for someone with a cheerful disposition that is reliable. Many new referrals result from clients who have been discharged from hospital, or self-referrals from people in the community who are no longer able to prepare meals. The service enables many elderly members of our community to remain in their own homes, thus enhancing their independence and quality of life. In some instances, access to the service may only be a temporary measure, offering assistance until they have recuperated.
