"The second wave is here, but this time businesses are still open, which means people have returned to work and we are seeing a more limited audi- ence for volunteers," said Jane Hennig, executive director of the Volunteer Ac- tion Centre, in a media advisory. Hennig told the Chronicle that need fluctuates for a variety of roles, but be- tween 25 to 50 volunteer drivers and kitchen helpers are needed. The shortage of volunteers essential- ly limits the services that can be provid- ed on a daily basis by various partner agencies. Volunteer drivers and kitchen help- ers must be 65 or younger and able to lift 30 pounds. Drivers must also have their own vehicle and are reimbursed for gas. Shifts are three to four hours each. Hennig understands that everyone might not be comfortable volunteering, with the second wave of COVID-19 soar- ing is some spots. However, she said community kitch- ens are, for the most part, controlled en- vironments, and while nothing is ever guaranteed, volunteer safety is some- thing that's been paramount for the ac- tion centre that seconded staff from charities and municipalities into vari- ous roles to test the waters and under- stand how they'd be engaged. Launched during the first wave of the pandemic, the volunteer pandemic program is a partnership between the region, area municipalities and the Vol- unteer Action Centre, and "is an exam- ple of community partnership and kindness during the pandemic," ac- cording to Regional Chair Karen Red- man. "We still say, 'First and foremost take care of your family circle and then your immediate neighbours,'" Hennig said. "If you do feel comfortable and would like to help the formal response, please come and sign in. We can use your assis- tance." Anyone interested can apply at vol- unteerwr.ca.
