For the prep, packaging and serving shifts, the Salvation Army is looking for volunteers who “are team players, are comfortable around food and food safety practices and are able to take direction are required,” the release noted.
For the Dec. 24 deliveries, volunteers are asked to pick up and deliver the meals to seniors who are in isolation. Delivery volunteers will be screened and must have a clear criminal record and must also have a driver’s licence and a vehicle.
