This Saturday will be
our monthly Delivery Day for the needy seniors in the Senior Citizen Project.
131 seniors will receive their monthly 100 pounds of food and personal care
items. Today we wanted to highlight a group of volunteers who help make our
deliveries successful each month, our delivery drivers.
Our
regular drivers deliver groceries to the same seniors every month. They sign up
for a time slot on Saturday morning and our volunteers load up their cars with
the nutritious groceries our seniors need to maintain their health. They then
deliver straight to the seniors’ homes. When our regulars are unavailable,
substitute drivers serve their seniors. Substitute Drivers give HSP their
e-mail, so that we can reach them when our regular drivers are unavailable to
deliver food for the month. Once we know all the routes that are in need of a
driver we send e-mails to the substitute drivers and they choose what time slot
and route works best for them.
We would not be able
to run this program without the help of the amazing drivers that volunteer
their time every month and encourage new people to try it out! If you are interested in becoming a Delivery Day
driver or have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us by emailing
hsp@humanitarianservice.org or
by calling 630.221.8340.
