The Franciscan Community Meals-on-Wheels Adopt-a-Route program is an easy and effective way for companies and organizations to get involved in their local communities! With as few as four people, a company or organization can Adopt-a-Route and deliver meals one day a week. Therefore, individual staff members would only deliver once a month, but the company or organization would help seniors, homebound and handicapped individuals every week.
On October 13, 2012, our community will rally together to prepare over 100,000 meals to feed starving children! Schools, churches, and businesses are all working together to meet this goal. In just two hours, each volunteer will package over 300 meals. You've always said that you want to make a difference. Take this opportunity to do just that!

We need a couple whether they are married to each other or two couples that would work as a team to facilitate a program aimed at families who are connected by the birth of a child, not by the bonds of matrimony. We would provide the curriculum, training materials, marketing, delivery location, etc. - we just need someone with the heart/passion to serve these parents.

COAD Foster Grandparent Volunteers are assigned 2 to 5 children or youth that they will work with as mentors and tutors on a weekly basis. They help children read, tutoring them so they succeed in school. They work with troubled teens to help them gain confidence and to develop life skills. They work in pre-elementary school programs with preschoolers who need extra help to succeed in their future school endeavors. COAD Foster Grandparent Volunteers serve an average of 20 hours per week. A small non-taxable stipend of $2.65 per hour is given to volunteers who meet income eligibility requirements. In addition to the non-taxable stipend, Foster Grandparent Volunteers receive help with meal and transportation costs while volunteering, supplemental auto and liability insurances, an annual physical examination, pre-service orientation and monthly educational trainings and the joy of knowing they are making a difference for the children they serve.
Critically, we need volunteer leadership. Individuals who can take a project, learn its focus and outcome objectives and assist toward building the framework for the successful outcome of its goals.
