“Approximately two/thirds of uji volunteers in any given fiscal year participate in the meals-on-wheels program by assisting with the collection, staging and distribution of home-delivered meals to participating seniors from a varity of locations all around northeast florida. About another quarter of the total number are those who participate in supporting special episodic and corporate activities like holiday parties and promotional events. They receive no compensation for their efforts, other than the great appreciation of our agency, and of those who benefit from the services they provide. A small number of volunteers are those who specifically serve year-round in the "relief" program, in which they provide regularly scheduled periods of respite to full-time caregivers of our elderly and infirm program clients. These volunteers receive monthly stipend payments that are intended to partially reimburse them for incurred expenses such as travel and meals, based on the number of hours they serve in a given month.”

This includes various program services including senior center recreational activities, medical transportation, counseling, companionship, adult day care, resprite, specialized medical equipment, emergency alert response and caregiver training and support.”
