About This Opportunity

Bethany Riverview is seeking dynamic volunteers (16 and older) who enjoy interacting with and providing support to seniors. Mealtime Companions provide vital personal contact through assistance with feeding the senior resident. Eating is meant to be a social, interactive experience and your contribution will positively impact the quality of life of the residents. Training, support and supervision are provided by the Care Team.  Mealtimes occur every day of the week for 1 hour at breakfast, lunch, and dinner - same as us! Therefore, volunteer days and hours are flexible to align with your schedule. Once a volunteer achieves a minimum of 40 hours of volunteer time, a reference can be provided.
