1. Please provide a short paragraph about your volunteer experience.

I enjoy seeing the folks on my Friday route. There are old, young, and in between that get their meals delivered.

2. What were you expecting going into this volunteering event? Did those expectations change at all once you were done volunteering?

I had done my homework, and so expectations were met.

3. What was one thing you saw or did today that you’ll remember from today’s volunteering event?

Some of the people’s smile, cause they recognize, and you may be the only person that they see that day!

4. As an “experienced” volunteer at this cause, what would you tell someone who’s interested in volunteering at this cause for the first time? 

It’s fun, lots of driving, and always remember, on the cold rainy days, you get paid “double”! 

5. Are there any additional items people should know about volunteering at this cause?

Must be able to drive.  Need to be able to lift coolers, with meals and drinks.  Meals have to be delivered, regardless of weather conditions.

Thanks Ushma – keep making our community a better place!
