4. Volunteer Opportunities

  • Hello, We need volunteers for www.littlebrothersmn.org.  We have many ways for folks to volunteer.  We have a small cabin on Lake Josephine in Arden Hills, we need volunteers there to help us serve and prepare meals for about 35 elders and their volunteers.  I can come out to do an orientation for your group.  Kindest Regards, Lois Mineau - Volunteer Services Manager  612-746-0753 [posted 6/19/2008]
  •  Meals on Wheels can use your help in delivering hot, nutritious lunchtime meals on weekdays (Monday through Friday) to the elderly and those with limited mobility in our community.  You can volunteer once a week or once a month, delivery takes only about an hour.  Volunteers deliver much more than a meal, they bring a smile and kind words, the relieve isolation, and provide peace of mind for people in need.  There are nearly fifty Meals on Wheels program centers spread throughout the Twin Cities metro area, so there is a location near you.  You can bring a friend or family member with you to help deliver meals.  Volunteers provide their own transportation and must have a current driver's license.  Your costs for transportation are tax deductible.  For more information, contact Molly Kennedy at Metro Meals on Wheels (612-623-3363) or visit their website at http://www.meals-on-wheels.com.  [posted 4/2/08]
