Volunteers Needed at Bugbee Senior Center!

There is an on-going need for waiters and waitresses in our dining room as well as for substitute meal drivers for home-delivered meals in Hartford, Wilder and White River Jct.

Wait staff in our dining room serve lunch and clean up afterwards. There is no order-taking, heavy lifting or carrying of trays  involved. If you are free from 11:45 to 12:30 or so, please consider helping us out.

Delivering meals takes about an hour, depending on how many stops are on the route. Meals are picked up at the Center around 11:00 AM. A reliable vehicle is required, and delivering meals involves getting in and out of the vehicle, possibly climbing  some stairs, and carrying  meal containers.

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Ransom at the Center, 295-9068, or CLICK HERE .
