I will treat my co-volunteers, clients, and office staff with courtesy and respect. 6. When taking out a route as a driver or assistant I will keep the meals in the insulated delivery bags for as long as possible to maintain the temperature and integrity of the food. Exceptions to this should be discussed with Angel. 7. I will call the office or email to inform of any schedule changes a minimum of one business day in advance so that the volunteer coordinator has time to find a replacement volunteer.

I will report back any unsafe situations that I observe in the client's home. 9. In an emergency, including people who have fallen, requesting help or are unconscious, I will immediately call 911.
