Lunch Out Driver [ More info  ]  
Community Support Services of Niagara (St. Catharines Office) is a volunteer-based not-for-profit agency providing comprehensive client-driven community support services to help seniors and adults with disabilities live independently in their own homes. 
 
We offer a Lunch Out program where we organize a group lunch and activity or entertainment in St Catharines. Many of our clients do not drive and we provide transportation to those attending. 
 
We currently need volunteer drivers specifically for the Lunch Out program. This entails picking up 2-3 clients and bringing them to the venue. Volunteers have the option of staying for the lunch/activity or dropping off the clients and coming back to bring them home. If the volunteer stays, they have the choice of having their lunch paid or the mileage reimbursed. 
 
We currently offer one Lunch Out program per month - usually the third Wednesday of the month but some exceptions apply. Volunteers are not required to be available for all of them but should be able to commit to several times per year.
