Aging True's Dropsite Program
Aging True Volunteer Mission Statement
To effectively recruit, train, and enable qualified volunteers to offer their experience, skills and time to Aging True and the individuals, families, and communities throughout northeast Florida in order to prepare for and support graceful aging.
Dropsite Volunteer Document Library
These are the documents a dropsite volunteer will need in order to begin volunteering with our program. Each volunteer will need to complete the required forms, and the Dropsite Coordinator should send the original signatures back to Aging True. Once we have the forms, we’ll background screen the volunteer, keep the documents on file and process them through our volunteer software. Once they clear, we’ll notify the coordinator and they are ready to begin volunteering!
Aging True Volunteer Handbook
This is the Aging True Volunteer Handbook – Each volunteer should be given this document to review when they begin to volunteer. It contains information about Aging True, policies and practices, and also the required volunteer forms they will need to complete and return before they begin to volunteer with our program.
Required Volunteer Forms (No Handbook)
This condensed, easier to print document contains only the signature forms a Dropsite Volunteer has to fill out, minus the handbook. Once sent to Aging True, we’ll keep these forms on file. Each volunteer will have to complete these forms on an annual basis.
Aging True Volunteer Value Proposition Statement
Aging True relies on volunteers in every aspect of our organization and values the time, talents, and passions those volunteers contribute to achieving our mission.
Our Give, Get, Grow, and Go organizational culture creates an environment where our volunteers have a platform to Give back to their communities, Get personal fulfillment from their volunteerism, Grow in volunteer service with Aging True, and Go into the community as ambassadors and advocate for senior issues.
We believe that when our volunteers and employees grow, so will the communities we serve.
Dropsite Spotlight: Arlington Presbyterian Church
Arlington Presbyterian has been an active meal delivery drop site for over 20 years. Under the direction of volunteer coordinator, Tom Hackney, their volunteer team delivers over 200 meals a week. In 2021, one of Arlington Presbyterian’s volunteers, Seth “Tom” Miller, was selected as the Florida Association of Aging Senior Providers (FASP) Senior Volunteer of the Year.
The dedication of the Arlington Presbyterian volunteers thoroughly fulfills the church’s mission of “Loving and serving God while loving and serving our neighbors.”
