Volunteers deliver meals for homebound seniors throughout Portage County as part of the ADRC’s Rural Home Delivered Meal Program.  If you want to really make a difference in someone’s life this is for you! A mileage stipend is available.  Number of Volunteers Needed:   15-20

Commitment is approximately 1 ½ – 2 hours between 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Routes are primarily in the villages and rural areas of Portage County, but in most cases start and end at the Lincoln Center in Stevens Point.

Scheduling can be flexible and we’d be happy to talk to you about what works for your schedule.

You must be 55 years of age or older to volunteer as a part of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program but our nutrition program is happy to accept volunteers of any age so long as they can drive and pass a background check.

Did you know preparing your community BEFORE a disaster is part of the American Red Cross mission?

As a Community Preparedness Volunteer, you can help educate individuals, families, and communities on actions to reduce the risk of a disaster and prepare to respond effectively and cope with disasters when they happen.

The American Red Cross is seeking compassionate and committed individuals to help with the following efforts:

• Youth programs delivered to children that provide science-based disaster education and coping skills
• Community preparedness education opportunities like Hands-Only CPR or providing disaster education presentations
