Join our Greenlane Meals on Wheels team!

We're urgently looking for friendly volunteer drivers to join one of our eleven Greenlane depot volunteer teams Birch, Elm, Fir, Gold, Green, Ivy, Kauri, Orange, Red, Rimu and White.

Meals from the Greenlane depot are delivered to Greenlane, Penrose, Ellerslie, Remuera, Epsom, Royal Oak, Hillsborough, Onehunga, Mount Wellington, Three Kings, Mount Roskill, One Tree Hill, Mount Eden, Lynfield and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Shifts start and end at the meal pick-up point in the Greenlane Clinical Centre grounds. Meal pickup time is 11:15am Monday to Friday.

We need eleven (11) volunteers each weekday.

Role description

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 hot meals and a friendly chat, to people in need across New Zealand.

Your Tasks

• Pick up meals at 11.15 from the pick-up point in your car.
• Meals are packed in insulated chilly bins.
• Deliver meals to people and have a brief chat at the door.
• Return chilly bins to the depot
• Go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.

Volunteer requirements and training

You’ll need to be a friendly person who has their own car and a full driver licence.

Meals on Wheels volunteer onboarding may take anywhere between 2-6 weeks depending on your availability and the availability of the local coordinator. NZ Police response time can vary from a few days to about a month after we submit the Police Vet request.

You'll need to follow our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policies and procedures, which will be advised during training.
