Remote Wellness Caller for Homebound Seniors on Wednesdays and/or Fridays

Calendar Get Connected Icon ongoing
Time Between 9:00am-12:00pm

Description

Meals on Wheels of Durham is seeking volunteers to make phone calls to our home-bound senior clients.

Call our seniors in Durham. You can call from anyplace you have access to the internet and a computer.

Calls are made on Wednesdays and/or Fridays from your remote location. You will receive that day's "Wellness Sheet" via email at 8am. Calls can be made between 9am and noon. Each route averages 60 minutes (10-14 clients). Sign up for up to 3 routes per day. 

  • Wednesday Wellness CallsOn Wednesday, you will be collecting information from clients regarding their weekly delivery. It is so important for MOWD to know if clients can be home and to remind clients the importance of being home during their delivery! This directly supports our ability to order the correct amount of food while also ensuring as many of our current clients are being served the best way possible! This is also the last day our clients can cancel their meals. 
  • Friday Wellness CallsThink of this as ‘FUN Friday!’. On Friday you will be connecting with clients and checking in on them. This is a great way to encourage relationship building and is something that our clients look forward to!   

In order to move forward in the process, please complete a Volunteer Application here. You will then receive an email to setup your volunteer profile and be able to self-schedule in our system.
