Hawaii Cares Day of Action Volunteer Opportunity: Lanakila Pacific Meals on Wheels

On or near this day, tens of thousands of people across the globe volunteer with United Way to help make a real difference in people’s lives. To be respectful of your time, we are partnering with Lanakila Meals on Wheels for a rewarding volunteer experience.

What we are seeking

We are seeking volunteers to deliver meals to approximately 30 kupuna in the Honolulu area.

Location

We have openings in Kalihi, Kalihi Valley, McCully, and Kinau. Volunteers can pair up and visit with a few kupuna within 1-2 hours.

# of volunteers

For this we are seeking 10 volunteer pairs or a total of 20 volunteers.

To Volunteer, Here's what to do

If you are interested in volunteering, we require a few things from you.

1st: Sign up at: _____________________________ so we can confirm your participation.
2nd: We need you to complete a volunteer application. The application is online: https://www.lanakilapacific.org/volunteer/volunteer-applications/. When in the system, please sign up for GROUP and then input HAWAII CARES for group name.

**IF you have previously volunteered with Lanakila Meals on Wheels, please let us know so we can alert them. They will confirm they have you in the system and that you DO NOT need to fill out a form again.

**IF you HAVE NOT volunteered with them, after they receive the application, Lanakila Meals on Wheels will complete a background check, sex offender check, traffic violations check, review of two references, and collect a copy of the volunteer’s driver’s license, registration and insurance.

Please note that if you are interested and able to participate, we highly recommend you sign up and begin the process now. The longest part is usually the two references, so interested volunteers should have their references complete the Volunteer Reference Check on our website to speed up the process.

Deadline: Friday, June 8, 2018
