Red Cross Meals on Wheels Driver - Greenlane
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 Greenlane and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Shifts start and end at the meal pick up point in the Greenlane Clinical Centre grounds.
Meal pickup time is 11:15am Mon-Fri.
We need eleven (11) volunteers each weekday.
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.
Petrol vouchers are provided. Contact your Meals on Wheels coordinators for more information. For more information please email auckland.volunteers@redcross.org.nz.
Min age 18 years. Training 4 to 8 hours. Valid driver's licence. Vehicle with valid registration (rego) and warrant of fitness (WoF).

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 11:15am Monday to Friday.
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.
