Loaves & Fishes Centers seek volunteers
This is a wee bit out of our usual coverage area, but, as we admire and respect the work the Loaves & Fishes does, we wanted to publish this in the hopes of garnering the needed volunteers.
Loaves & Fishes Centers, the Meals-On-Wheels People, are seeking volunteer drivers to ensure home bound seniors in Southeast Portland receive nutritious meals and a bit of companionship.
“These volunteers are so invaluable because they not only help us feed our frail elderly, but they make sure these seniors see a friendly face at least once a week. Sometimes the Meals-On-Wheels driver is the only person these home bound seniors see all day,” said Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center Manager Donna Trilli.
Meals-On-Wheels are delivered Monday through Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. Drivers must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Volunteers are also needed to help in the kitchen and to serve meals to seniors who come into the centers for lunch.
Belmont Loaves & Fishes Center is located at 4610 SE Belmont. Donna Trilli is the manager and she can be reached at 503.953.8202.
Lents Loaves & Fishes Center is located at 10325 SE Holgate Blvd., #121. Moira McHale is the manager and she can be reached at 503.762.8997.
Since 1970 Loaves & Fishes Centers has provided a nutritional and social lifeline for seniors through 31 meal sites in Multnomah, Washington
