Context of the mandate

We are a nonprofit organization providing housing for seniors who are independent or are experiencing a slight loss of independence. We offer lunch service Monday through Friday. We are looking to expand our team of volunteers who support our tenants during lunchtime. 

Tasks

• Setting the table
• Serving water, coffee, and tea
• Serving soup
• Assisting guests with limited mobility
• Cleaning tables

Desired qualifications

We are looking for people who are able to be on their feet for a 4-hour shift (including breaks for soup and dinner). Volunteers are constantly moving around to assist residents during mealtime.

We also hope that those involved have good interpersonal skills and enjoy spending time with older adults.

Volunteers must demonstrate empathy, solidarity, and respect toward both residents and their peers. The ability to work as part of a team with people from different backgrounds, ages, communities, and profiles is essential.

We welcome people who have no prior volunteer experience but who want to get involved and are open to learning. 

 

Expected level of involvement

We are currently looking for people to join our Thursday and Friday teams. 

The shift runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

We hope that volunteers will commit to the long term so that we can build a stable team.
