Meals on Wheels Driver - Howick Depot
Our Meals on Wheels service supports older, ill, and disabled people living at home who would otherwise struggle to provide healthy meals for themselves. We need volunteers keen to deliver hot meals and a friendly chat, to people in need across New Zealand.
We're looking for friendly volunteer drivers to deliver meals in Howick, Pakuranga, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Your tasks are to pick up chilly bins containing meals in your car, deliver meals to people and have a brief chat at the door, return chilly bins to the depot and go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.
We provide a small contribution to costs
Min age 18 years. Training 4 to 8 hours. Valid driver's licence. Vehicle with valid registration (rego) and warrant of fitness (WoF).
Two character references. You’ll need to be a friendly person who has their own car and a full driver licence. We’ll train you in how to carry out the role and you’ll be supported by Red Cross volunteers or staff members.
Meal pick-up time is 11:30am Monday to Friday.
Shifts start and end at the meal pick-up point on Ridge Road in Howick.
A shift usually takes 60-90 minutes to complete. Most of our drivers deliver meals once a week every two weeks, however, shifts are flexible.
