You can make a difference! Volunteers just like you share their time and talents and improve lives with COA. Here are our current volunteer needs:
Cutters & Clippers–Our Care Connection program is looking for interested volunteers to assist in basic lawn care and maintenance on Thursdays 8am-12pm. This kind of service helps local seniors remain in their own homes where they are most comfortable, rather than being compelled to enter assisted living for lack of assistance.
Coastal Community Center (Coffee bar)–Our Marine St. senior center is looking for a volunteer to help serve coffee to our participants this summer on Wednesdays @ 8:30am-10am (seasonal opportunity). If you would like to help on an as-needed basis, we are asking for substitutes as well for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Meals on Wheels (Substitute drivers) –We have a need this summer for substitute volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers who are willing to do any route and have a flexible schedule, including delivering meals to our Hastings Senior Center as needed (@ 11am Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays). Our substitute drivers for residential deliveries will pick up meals on the mornings of their designated day(s) between 9am and 10:30am at our Marine Street location. Delivery routes can take about 1.5-3 hours to complete.
Meals on Wheels (Kitchen)–This opportunity involves volunteers packing meals for Meals on Wheels at our downtown location. We need 2 kitchen volunteers each for the following days @ 9am-10:30am: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Sunshine Center (Adult Day Care Activity Assistant) – Assist staff with group activities such as reading, assistance with games, crafts, serving lunch or snacks, wiping tables, etc. The volunteer acts as an extra set of hands and eyes to assist a group of wonderful participants who have developed memory loss and some confusion. Days and times of opportunity: Mondays & Wednesdays (one or both days; full or half days available) @ 9:30am-1pm & 1pm-4pm.
IMEP (Ponte Vedra)–Our Memory Center in Ponte Vedra needs a volunteer on Mondays from 8:45am to 12pm (consistent/ongoing/weekly).
Sunshine Center (Assistant)–Volunteer needed at our Sunshine Center in Downtown St. Augustine. Duties include assisting staff with activities, serving lunches, cleaning up, and assisting a legally blind person with feeding and some activity interactions. This opportunity is available on Fridays 8:30am-11:30am. This is a great way to show dignity and respect to our seniors.
Take advantage of these opportunities to fill your free time while helping others and making a difference in their lives!
