Opportunity Description:

Volunteer with us! Welcome to Happy at Home Halifax, ​We are always seeking individuals who have a heart for seniors and want to make an impact in their community! Read below about the programs we offer and click “Apply now” to fill out a volunteer application form! ​We offer a weekly meal delivery service free of charge to seniors who find it challenging to cook a well-balanced meal for a variety of reasons. We know healthy food positively impacts our ability to function at our best. Our meals are delivered frozen so they can be used whenever the recipient needs it. A meal contains a main dish, roll, and a dessert. While a recipient is on this service, we try to find a long-term solution for them to receive healthy meals more than once a week. ​Delivery of prepaid grocery or pharmacy items is available. Our team of volunteers will pickup prepaid grocery and prescription orders and bring these items right to your door.  At times, mobility, weather, and health issues can make it difficult to pickup these needed items and we are here to help. ​Our Home Maintenance program offers free labour to complete small tasks such as installing doorknobs, toilet paper holders, hanging pictures or mirrors, assembling furniture etc. These smaller jobs can make a house much more comfortable for seniors to live in and feel more like home. ​​Kind regards, Happy at Home Halifax Team
