Diner’s Clubs

Monthly luncheons are held in many communities throughout Leeds & Grenville. Clients and volunteers get to enjoy a nutritious meal, social interaction and guest speakers or entertainment. Use your talents to assist individuals who otherwise don’t have an opportunity to enjoy a meal in the company of others.  Depending on the Diners’ Club location, volunteer opportunities include:  transporting clients to and from the venue (for those in need), event set up, shopping, food preparation, serving, and clean-up.

Lifeline

Our volunteers install and service Lifeline equipment. There is also a component of teaching involved. Training and ongoing support are provided. If you have a driver’s license and would enjoy help the subscriber learn how to use the equipment, then this may be the volunteer opportunity for you!

Meals on Wheels

Senior Support Services (CPHC) has both hot and frozen meals available for clients. Hot meals are delivered from Monday-Friday (except on holidays). Frozen meals are delivered once per week on a set day and time. As a volunteer, you choose how often you are able to be on the schedule to help deliver meals (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or as a backup).

Transportation

We are in need of drivers throughout Leeds & Grenville. Our local drives chiefly consist of a commitment of approximately one hour. Senior Support Services (CPHC) also handles long-distance transportation (ex. to Ottawa and Kingston). As a volunteer driver, you can choose how many drives per month you would like to do. Also which days of the week you are available, and whether you would prefer local or long-distance drives. Senior Support Services (CPHC) does reimburse for mileage.

Classes are held throughout Lanark, Leeds & Grenville.
