You will receive training and learn about our user-friendly Mon Ami software. Every volunteer will complete an online background check and fill out a non-disclosure agreement to protect the privacy and safety of Meals on Wheels West program participants. Each volunteer will receive guidelines and a sample script for the calls. Each volunteer will receive two clients to call once a week, with each call typically taking 5-10 minutes.
