Summer Meals on Wheels drivers needed
June 4, 2015
GREER, SC – Greer Community Ministries’ (GCM) Meals on Wheels program has a need for summer volunteer drivers. School groups that participate during the school year are unable to complete routes and vacations take regular volunteers out of the rotation during the summer months.
“Most of us take vacations during the summer but that is not the case for our homebound and elderly clients,” said Wendy Campbell Meals on Wheels coordinator. “They depend on volunteer drivers to bring smiling faces and nutritious meals all year long.”
Routes are open on the in Taylors (Hwy 290) and Greer (Hwy 14) as well as at Victoria Arms, Berkshire, and Snow Street apartments. Routes take about one hour and meals are available for pick up at the ministry between 10 and 11 a.m. All meals should be delivered by 1 p.m. Volunteers must provide their own transportation.
GCM delivers a warm, nutritious meal to an average of 335 clients Monday through Friday. Meals are prepared and packaged on site. Volunteers are needed to cover 21 routes that span the Blue Ridge area to Abner Creek.
To volunteer, please call Campbell, 879-2254.
