This toolkit of resources and activities will help you manage paid or volunteer escort drivers and home-delivered meal drivers. It combines resources from some of the best websites we've found about nutrition, transportation and volunteerism.
It can help you assure a level of consistent shared local information as you train paid and volunteer drivers. By using these materials you can feel comfortable knowing your drivers have the training they need.
Make sure you complete required administrative procedures in hiring a volunteer or paid driver and record the trainings the driver has completed. Using your personalized checklist may help you keep track of training modules completed, retain a record of training information addressed for each personnel file, etc. The resources for each module are provided below.
