REQUEST HELP

How we can Help: Let a Volunteer run an errand for you, like picking up groceries or a prescription from your pharmacy.  If you can’t do something, maybe we have a volunteer who can. At this time, our volunteers are not able to transport members to doctor appointments or the like.  This is a volunteer errand service to help our members obtain basic needs.

How Help works: Our goal will be to connect a Member in Need (MIN) to a nearby Member Volunteer and complete the request within 72 hours of the request.  Please understand that is the goal that we strive for, not our guarantee.  When a MIN is connected with a Volunteer, the two parties will coordinate any financial exchange necessary for this service.

As Needed; As Available Volunteer Based Service: Since we are in a very unique time, everything is subject to change. This service is on an as-needed basis for all volunteers.  Our initial goal is to be able to successfully respond to and provide for a member in need within 72 hours.  The more volunteers that sign up, the more we are able to help.

Meant for Members In Need: We want to make sure help is going to those who need it most. This service is designed for Members in Need, which includes but is not limited to:
  • Elderly members & Retirees
  • Members with limited mobility and/or disabilities
  • Members who are at an increased health risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19
  • Members who are confined to their homes as caretakers of a loved one or those quarantined due to possible exposure.
 
 
THIS IS A FREE/VOLUNTEER BASED SERVICE BUT THE MEMBER IN NEED WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO FULLY COMPENSATE/COVER THE EXPENSE OF ANY PURCHASES ON ANY ERRAND PERFORMED.  CONSIDER THIS A ONE TIME SERVICE.

IN THE EVENT THAT YOU REQUIRE WEEKLY ASSISTANCE, PLEASE WORK WITH WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO SECURE CONSISTENT HELP.
