Red Cross Meals on Wheels Driver - Kaitaia depot

Our Meals on Wheels service supports older, ill, and disabled people living at home who would otherwise struggle to provide healthy meals for themselves. We need volunteers keen to deliver tasty and nutritious meals and a friendly chat, to people in need across New Zealand.

We're looking for friendly volunteer drivers to join our Kaitaia volunteer team, delivering local meals. Let us know if you'd like to in a pair.

Your tasks are to pick up chilly bins containing meals, deliver them to recipients, have a brief chat at the door and go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.

Contact Denise, your local Meals on Wheels coordinator at auckland.volunteers@redcross.org.nz
