When someone needs a hand, Thrifty Foods and our dedicated team of Sendial volunteers are happy to help. Our volunteers do the order taking and shopping for customers who, because of injury, frailty or other physical reason, can’t easily get to our stores or shop independently.
Description
Love to talk??!! Sendial is a grocery shopping and delivery service program for customers unable to shop in-store. Phoning volunteers are responsible to take customer orders. Phoners call customers weekly or biweekly and complete an order form for each customer.
Training Details
A two-hour general orientation (Zoom) is the first step, followed by role specific training (Zoom), then in-store shopping observation in store.
