ABOUT FOOD & FRIENDS

Food & Friends is the only Meals on Wheels program serving Jackson and Josephine Counties. We deliver meals to the homes of older adults and eligible adults with disabilities who are unable to shop or prepare meals due to illness, injury, or disability. Our volunteer home delivery drivers provide vital social contact and a regular safety check to recipients of our meals.

In addition to home delivered meals, Food & Friends provides congregate meals to seniors who are aged 60 or older at various meal sites in both counties.

The Office Specialist II/Volunteer Coordinator coordinates volunteer activities for Food & Friends in Josephine County including recruitment, retention, training, and scheduling of volunteers.

The ideal candidate possesses an outgoing personality, thrives in a fast-paced environment, is passionate about volunteer coordination and service delivery through volunteering, and excels in a collaborative team environment. An ability to make presentations to service and community organizations is required. This position also requires a commitment to supporting the Food & Friends program and the volunteers who make it all possible.
