In doing so volunteers will maintain confidentiality of route sheets, report concerns to the supervisor regarding the well-being of the clients, attend in-service training as arranged by the site. Clients are primarily seniors. The minimum commitment is only 6 months. The need for drivers to deliver food is in MISSISSAUGA, South Etobicoke, and Oakville. The need for volunteers at this time is immediate and urgent.
