Volunteering and COVID-19

VON is committed to ensuring the safety and health of all our volunteers, clients and employees during the pandemic. We have taken steps to protect those giving and receiving care, including additional training and education and providing required PPE. Volunteer support is critical during the pandemic as we simply couldn’t offer the same level of personal support in the community without the power of volunteers.

The most rewarding part of my role is working with an amazing, hardworking team while making a positive impact on our community. Our volunteers are the soul of our meal delivery model. This group shows up always with smiles on their faces, ready to feed our clients. I am inspired by them every day.
