Volunteer Meal Delivery
is our most important position, volunteers first drive the meal route with a supervisor and test their skills driving the van; they must have a good driving record and are added to our insurance policy. People on the home delivered meal route anticipate the arrival of the driver and both the food and the good will they deliver, often this will be the only person visiting their home on a given day. The vans leave the designated center at a specified time, usually 11AM, and the route takes about an hour to complete. Volunteers are needed who are willing to substitute when others are ill or on vacation. Many volunteers drive their own vehicles and deliver meals on the same schedule as the vans.

Clerical/Office Duties
are needed including phone calls to participants, data entry, and general office work.

Meal Duties
include lunch line serving form about 11 to 12:30 and kitchen custodial cleaning.

Activities with seniors
are social events and can be scheduled at any time the center is open, greatly appreciated are games and crafts, and leading an exercise program or a dance class. Special events such as day trips often require additional help to assist seniors. Workshops and speakers help us meet the educational needs as well as personal growth.

Fund Raining events
are an essential part of any nonprofit agency and require people power prior to and on the day of the event. Volunteers are needed for events such as a Walk-a-thon, motorcycle rally, or a fund raising breakfast or gospel concert. The center director would contact you prior to the event and give a specific assignment. Coupon Volunteer is an ongoing fund raising program occurring in several Harps groceries as well as Dillons in Prairie Grove. Volunteers meet at designated times and tape coupons to the products in the grocery store, the coupons are stamped COA, and at check-out the clerk ask the customer if they wish to donate the coupon to COA. This program is a major source of funds for seniors.
