Join our grocery shopping volunteer team at the Sea to Sky Better at Home Program!
Do you have a vehicle and a couple of hours a month to make a difference in the life of a senior? If so, help us build an inclusive and supportive community for seniors through our grocery shopping program.
We occasionally need grocery shopper volunteers in Squamish and Pemberton.
About This Role
Based on your availability, we connect you with a senior, they will give you their grocery list and then you shop and drop off at the senior's home. Or you can shop with them by taking them to shop yourself. Volunteers can accept or decline requests based on their availability; you are always free to say no!
If you are shopping for a senior in Squamish, we have Save On Foods gift cards that you can pick up at our SSCS (Sea to Sky Community Services) office. We prefer that no money changes hands between a volunteer and a senior. In Pemberton we can make similar arrangements with Pemberton Valley Supermarket.
