Description

About SPRINT Senior Care
We began caring for seniors and enabling seniors to care for themselves in 1983. We continue to do so today as an accredited, not-for-profit community support service agency in Toronto by offering a wide range of practical and low-cost services to seniors and their caregivers. Our services help seniors stay safe, connected, and live as independently as possible, as well as prevent premature or inappropriate institutionalization.
We supply services regardless of ability, race, religion, ethnic origin, citizenship, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity, and are committed to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) inclusiveness.
We also co-direct House Calls, a primary care program for frail and homebound seniors, and are the lead agency of Toronto Ride, a Toronto-wide transportation network that provides rides to seniors.
  
Volunteer with us 
Join our Community Programs Team! Our team is helping to ensure seniors in the community are safe and have access to groceries and other essential items. We are looking volunteers to help us with: 

Lunch Packaging
(Weekly – Wednesday – 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.)
We are looking for volunteers to support our Community Programs team with packaging meals as part of our new food security program. The volunteers will assist with packaging meals to be distributed to seniors living within our catchment area. Our Community Programs packaging site is located at Sunnybrook Hospital.

Delivering Wellness Bags
(Bi-weekly – Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) 
We are currently looking for a volunteer driver with a car and a G license who can help with delivering Wellness Bags to clients  within our catchment area (Bloor to the 401; Bathurst to Bayview/Don River). The volunteer will use their cellphone and data  for directions. The pick-up location is at Sunnybrook Hospital and containers are to be brought back to the pickup spot after  delivery. 

 Please consider at least a three-month commitment.
