To sit on the Accessibility Committee for the Town of Ingersoll? The criteria is quite broad, but the person(s) would have a visual, walking etc. challenge. The meetings are held in the afternoon once a month at the Town Hall. 

You would review applications to Paratransit according to the criteria also during the meeting. 

If you are interested please contact Elaine Clark at the Town Hall.

Woodingford Lodge

We have many volunteer opportunities available. As little as one hour a week can make a big difference

For further information about volunteer opportunities, please contact

Tammy MacDonald, Volunteer Coordinator at 519-539-1245 ext. #201

Library Coordinator

This position is presently held by Gwen Hart. She could use the help of an assistant. 

Do you enjoy reading? This is the only qualification needed to assist us in maintaining the Centre’s library. Books and magazines are continually being donated, borrowed and returned. If you have one hour per week to tidy, categorize and sort our books, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. The lending system of our library is used by many, however the ongoing organization needs to be maintained in order to avoid misplacement of books. 

Please speak to Gwen or Wendy if interested.

Anyone interested in expanding or assisting? 
Please see Wendy.

We are looking for a supporter of our Centre to assist Wendy in writing a monthly column for the Ingersoll times. In the past we have included upcoming events, weekly programs and information on current trends and issues for Older Adults. If you feel you could offer your creativity and writing talents in promoting our active Centre, please speak with Wendy. This column was a great way to promote our Centre.

Let’s see it continue.

Many hands = less work = less maintenance = lower membership fee.

Seasonal Decorating Committee

Volunteers are needed to assist with decorating 
the centre for special holidays.

Thursdays Lunches

Do you like spending time with your friends at lunch?
Is Members Lunch a program you enjoy attending?
We are in need of your help.

All we are asking is a couple hours of your time each month. 
We are looking for friendly folks like yourself who can help serve on 
Wednesday or Thursday.

As a volunteer with this program you help us keep our costs down so we can continue 
to provide delicious meals at such a reasonable rate.

If this is something you would like to do to support your centre,
please see Rachael

Transportation Services

Many of the services we offer would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Our transportation service is probably our most utilized program and we are currently seeking volunteers to provide transportation. Drivers use their own vehicles and are reimbursed for mileage by the client . If you feel that you are a caring individual and would like to provide a much needed service to a member of your community please speak to one of the Staff or Council Member.

Telephone Reassurance

We also need 3 volunteers to provide telephone reassurance calls once a week. This program provides friendly visits and security checks through telephone conversations to clients who have been identified as being isolated and would benefit from a daily phone call from a caring volunteer. If you have 15 minutes to spare once a week and would be interested in joining our volunteer team, please contact Wendy or Rachael. 

Our thanks goes out to all who have been volunteering with this program for the past year.

If you can spare a couple of hours each week helping drive clients to appointments or delivering frozen meals it would be greatly appreciated.
