(Mon. to Fri.; 9:30 AM). Pick up groceries at ISC and drop off groceries to 4-6 older adults’ homes. This usually takes approximately 90 minutes. Volunteers use their own vehicles, and ISC provides no-contact delivery at the doorstep to keep volunteers, staff, and older adults safe. You must have a current driver’s license and car insurance.

(Mon. to Fri.; hours vary but generally 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM). Help sort donations, organize the pantry and freezer areas, and organize fresh produce — tasks vary day to day, and ISC’s Food Pantry Coordinator will provide direction. Up to three people can volunteer at the same time, and tasks typically can be completed in 1-2 hours.

(Mon. to Fri.; 11:20 AM to 12:30 PM). This is a simple and fun way for you to make a difference! As an individual or a small group of 2-4 people, it takes about an hour of your time to serve hot, nutritious meals to the tables where our older adults are gathered for lunch. Our process is for volunteer teams to sign up for a single date and then consider the possibility of an ongoing commitment (monthly, quarterly, or as it fits your schedule).

(Mon. to Fri; mornings or afternoons). If you have an hour or two to give each week, we need consistent, long-term volunteers to serve our eager-to-learn older adults! We need instructors for 1 hour each weekday between the hours of 10:20 AM to 11:20 AM or 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM. Whether you have formal experience as a teacher or have a passion/hobby to share, we’d love to hear from you! Some topics may include: gardening, discussion of current events, crafts, technology (using a smart phone), and more.

Assist participants during instructor-led classes or activities like crafts, sewing, gardening, bingo, etc.

Classes vary by week and month, Mon. to Fri.; 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.
