Habersham County needs more volunteers for its Meals on Wheels program. In an effort to recruit help, the county will host an informational meeting for potential volunteers from 5-7 p.m. this Wednesday, September 7, at Chick-fil-A in Cornelia.
There is no obligation for those who attend. This meeting is an opportunity for potential volunteers to learn more about the program and see if it’s a good fit for them, organizers say.
“I think they will hear about the commitment we have to our clients, what it means to volunteer, the prideful feeling of helping others in need, and being the person to do wellness checks on the client. They will discuss onboarding documentation and processing,” says Habersham County Senior Center Director Kathy Holcomb. “Anyone can volunteer, all it takes is a serving heart, and available time.”
Currently, Meals on Wheels serves 160 clients throughout the county. Organizers say they need more help to cover volunteer absences and added orders. In addition, more volunteers would allow more hot meals to be served daily.
Chick-fil-A is located at 330 Furniture Drive in Cornelia.
