Volunteer: Delivering Food Boxes: Everyone Welcome! 2025

Delivering Food Boxes to Seniors 

 

Focus: HOPE provides food to over 40,000 limited-income seniors in and around Detroit. Each month, every one of those seniors receives a box of food which contains healthy groupings of nonperishable foods. While most of our seniors come to one of the three Focus: HOPE centers to pick up their food, over 10,000 are homebound. Homebound seniors are unable to pick up the food themselves, so volunteers and agency partners such as yourself deliver it directly to them. You may deliver to individual homes or to buildings where many senior participants live at the same address. Teams and individuals are welcome!! 

We have an extremely high need for delivery volunteers. Please share with your friends.

 

DELIVERY ORIENTATION:  

 

If you have not delivered food with us before, this is the opportunity for you! An orientation kicks off each shift on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at 10:00am & 2:00pm, and on Saturday at 10:00am. After you have successfully signed up for one of these shifts (you may register at the bottom of this page), you can deliver same day. The orientation itself only takes about ten minutes. 

 

HOW DELIVERIES WORK: 

 

To make food deliveries, volunteers use their own vehicles to transport pre-packed boxes of food to individual homes or apartment buildings. Based on the room in your car(s) and time available to you, you may choose the number of boxes to take and the areas to go to.  

Your first time delivering you will receive detailed instructions from a Volunteer Coordinator. Here is a shortened process overview: 

Decide how many boxes to deliver. Usually, volunteers can deliver about five in an hour.  Choose a zip code in or around Detroit which still has deliveries to be made. We have folders arranged by region and zip code, with information on each senior inside.  Select as many senior participants as you’d like to deliver to. You will call each senior before you leave Focus: HOPE, to let them know that you are coming and to confirm their address.  Record the deliveries you plan to make on a log sheet, which the Volunteer Coordinator will teach you how to use.  Back into the garage (we will show you where) to load your car with the appropriate number of food boxes. Each box will weigh 20-30 lbs. You will load your car yourself.  Plug the addresses into your phone, using the app of your choice.   Knock and drop a box of food at each senior’s home. No contact is required. You may not enter any homes.  Go straight home once every box has been delivered! Thank you!!!!! 

We recommend you bring a dolly, cart or wagon if you intend to make a large quantity of deliveries at once. 

Teams may work together to deliver to one location where many senior participants live at the same address. These buildings may have anywhere from 10-100 seniors who receive food from Focus: HOPE. Teams work together to transport the boxes in their vehicles and then distribute those boxes door-to-door within the building.

You will be awarded one volunteer hour per box delivered. Hours can be tracked in your account on this website. If you need a special sheet signed, bring it with you to volunteer or email volunteer@focushope.edu. For court mandated hours scroll down for more information. 

 

DRESS CODE: 

 

Comfortable attire and shoes are welcome. The warehouse temperature may fluctuate with the seasons, so layers are encouraged. Volunteers are prohibited from wearing open-toed shoes, sleeveless shirts, short shorts or exposing midriff. Please keep valuables at home, in your car or on your person.

Agency: Focus: HOPE's- Food for Seniors

Delivering Food Boxes to Seniors 

 

Focus: HOPE provides food to over 40,000 limited-income seniors in and around Detroit. Each month, every one of those seniors receives a box of food which contains healthy groupings of nonperishable foods. While most of our seniors come to one of the three Focus: HOPE centers to pick up their food, over 10,000 are homebound. Homebound seniors are unable to pick up the food themselves, so volunteers and agency partners such as yourself deliver it directly to them. You may deliver to individual homes or to buildings where many senior participants live at the same address. Teams and individuals are welcome!! 

We have an extremely high need for delivery volunteers. Please share with your friends.

 

DELIVERY ORIENTATION:  

 

If you have not delivered food with us before, this is the opportunity for you! An orientation kicks off each shift on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at 10:00am & 2:00pm, and on Saturday at 10:00am. After you have successfully signed up for one of these shifts (you may register at the bottom of this page), you can deliver same day. The orientation itself only takes about ten minutes. 

 

HOW DELIVERIES WORK: 

 

To make food deliveries, volunteers use their own vehicles to transport pre-packed boxes of food to individual homes or apartment buildings. Based on the room in your car(s) and time available to you, you may choose the number of boxes to take and the areas to go to.  

Your first time delivering you will receive detailed instructions from a Volunteer Coordinator. Here is a shortened process overview: 

Decide how many boxes to deliver. Usually, volunteers can deliver about five in an hour.  Choose a zip code in or around Detroit which still has deliveries to be made. We have folders arranged by region and zip code, with information on each senior inside.  Select as many senior participants as you’d like to deliver to. You will call each senior before you leave Focus: HOPE, to let them know that you are coming and to confirm their address.  Record the deliveries you plan to make on a log sheet, which the Volunteer Coordinator will teach you how to use.  Back into the garage (we will show you where) to load your car with the appropriate number of food boxes. Each box will weigh 20-30 lbs. You will load your car yourself.  Plug the addresses into your phone, using the app of your choice.   Knock and drop a box of food at each senior’s home. No contact is required. You may not enter any homes.  Go straight home once every box has been delivered! Thank you!!!!! 

We recommend you bring a dolly, cart or wagon if you intend to make a large quantity of deliveries at once. 

Teams may work together to deliver to one location where many senior participants live at the same address. These buildings may have anywhere from 10-100 seniors who receive food from Focus: HOPE. Teams work together to transport the boxes in their vehicles and then distribute those boxes door-to-door within the building.

You will be awarded one volunteer hour per box delivered. Hours can be tracked in your account on this website. If you need a special sheet signed, bring it with you to volunteer or email volunteer@focushope.edu. For court mandated hours scroll down for more information. 

 

DRESS CODE: 

 

Comfortable attire and shoes are welcome. The warehouse temperature may fluctuate with the seasons, so layers are encouraged. Volunteers are prohibited from wearing open-toed shoes, sleeveless shirts, short shorts or exposing midriff. Please keep valuables at home, in your car or on your person. 

We recommend you bring work gloves. 

 

SAFETY: 

 

For everyone’s safety, if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days, please stay home. 

Focus: HOPE strongly encourages all volunteers, guests and colleagues to wear a mask while in the building, regardless of vaccination status.

Volunteer: Become our backup internet technology support

The Women's Center, an independent counseling nonprofit, could use help with internet technology and security.

Currently, we're installing, upgrading, connecting, and coding everything ourselves. We know that there are better ways to do it, but lack time to master the necessary skills.

We know that you could do it faster and better!

We could use help with everything from setting up a secure WiFi booster (not even sure that's what the thingamajig is called!) to updating WordPress PHP to figuring out why our printer drivers won't talk to us.

Ideally, we would develop a long-term relationship with you at a pace of ~8 hours/month.

We'd like to get the chance to know you, and for you to know us and to feel a part of our mission.

Volunteer: Animal Husbandry Volunteers Needed

The Bird Center of Michigan is one of the only songbird rehabilitation facilities that serves the southeastern area of Michigan. Each year, hundreds of both baby birds and injured adults come through the doors of the clinic requiring assistance. Did you know that most baby birds need to be fed every 30 minutes from dawn to dusk? Between feeding, cleaning, and monitoring every bird’s condition, there’s always something that needs to be done! Not only do volunteers get the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of our feathered patients, but they get to learn and work alongside skilled staff and interns.

Volunteer shifts are typically 3 hours long, 1-2 times per week. How much time you are willing to spend volunteering with the Bird Center is up to you! Let our Volunteer Coordinator know your availability, and we will swiftly set up a training shift with an experienced mentor to get you started.

There are many jobs that go into wildlife rehabilitation – and it’s not just feeding birds! Here are some of the many important duties volunteers perform at the Bird Center:

Ensuring clean and safe enclosures for the birds. Preparing species-specific diets and creating enrichment. Helping staff and volunteers monitor critical patients and babies. Helping with special Bird Center projects. Helping staff with laundry. Running errands, such as transferring birds to other rehab facilities, or picking up fruit or insects at the store. General gardening and other outdoor maintenance at the clinic. Experienced volunteers can be trained to answer calls and enter data into our system.

We'd love to have you on our team!
