Volunteers are Needed in Your Community 

Please consider giving your time!  Help us spread the word that Age Well is seeking 100 new volunteers to provide regular social interaction and assistance to seniors in their homes. Help older Vermonter’s by volunteering in your community for any of the following: providing friendly visits, going grocery shopping, running errands, assisting with medical appointments, organizing, bill paying, providing respite to caregivers, delivering Meals on Wheels, doing minor home repairs, and more.  Time commitment is based on your availability--it can vary from one day a week to two days a month (Mon-Fri between 8am-4pm). Volunteers tell us that they feel an incredible sense of satisfaction and reward seeing the impact they have on those they support.  Please contact our Volunteer Department at 802-662-5249 or volunteer@agewellvt.org for more information and to sign up to volunteer.

Seeking regular and substitute Meals on Wheels volunteers in Middlebury and Vergennes.

Happiness knocks when you volunteer to deliver a meal! Meals on Wheels provides so much more than a nutritious meal. The moment you knock on that door, you make a connection. It might be a quick hello or a conversation, but the impact lasts a lifetime. Not just for those receiving the meal, but for you, too.

We need your help. We are currently looking for folks who can:

Deliver routes regularly (every week or every other week on the same day); Substitute in for openings throughout the month; Serve as on call volunteers who are able to step in in the case of last minute cancellations.

Time commitment is based on your availability--it can vary from one day a week to two days a month (weekdays only). Delivery is typically between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm.
