We are in need of volunteers!
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, call 1-707-987-3113 and speak to Lori, or visit the office.
The Middletown Senior Center is reaching out to volunteers to assist seniors in our service area.
The needs of our seniors in the Middletown, Cobb and Hidden Valley area have increased due to this active health emergency. Hardesters Market is offering curbside delivery in their parking lot for seniors that are 65 and over or others who are immune sensitive. If you wish to use this service, you can call your local Hardesters (HVL 1-707-987-2200, Cobb 1-707-928-5233). If you are a senior in need and are not capable of picking up your curbside groceries from Hardesters please call the Middletown Senior Center at 1-707-987-3113 and we will make every effort to find a volunteer to assist you. If you are a senior and have a prescription that you are not capable of picking up, you can make arrangements with your pharmacist regarding payment & pick up, and we will do our best to arrange a volunteer to pick up and deliver your prescription.

VOLUNTEER'S CORNER
Volunteers are essential to the Senior Center! They ensure that we can continue to serve the seniors in Middletown, Cobb and Hidden Valley Lake areas. They serve as welcoming greeters to assist at lunchtime with signing in and providing direction. Volunteer drivers make it possible to provide our Meals on Wheels program, which is a lifeline between seniors and the "outside world." Our drivers are on the job five days a week, checking on our "shut-ins" and reporting any severe changes in their health. Servers are ever busy serving beverages and plates of food to the lunch guests. Volunteer librarians tend to the video lending library making it easy to check out from a large supply of videos for home use. Gardeners use their talents to ensure our garden boxes are well tended and supply fresh produce for our lunches. Our own mailman picks up the mail daily and delivers to office. We have a birthday caller who calls and wishes each one a happy birthday each month. Thrift store workers sort, label, display and organize many wonderful treasures in the thrift store. Volunteers sweep floors, work in the office, help with newsletter, set tables, wash windows and more. Board Members help direct and work tirelessly in support of the center. And of course, there are always our fund-raising opportunities for volunteering. We appreciate each one and encourage you to get involved and share your talents.
VOLUNTEERS, THANK YOU
Thank you volunteers. Without you…. It makes me shutter to think about it.
Our servers are Louise Martin, Linda Turner, Cheryl Dabney, and Della Lair. The server position isn’t as labor extensive as when we had more diners. But it is extremely important and helpful to those who have chosen to return to “dining in”. Servers prepare the iced tea, coffee, and water pitcher. Some diners retrieve their own drinks, others not so much. The servers supply the utensils, clear the tables, pour drink refills. They also find time to visit with diners. They act as greeters and pass out lunches to those who still pick up to eat at home? In the park? Or?
