New Year, New Opportunities to Make a Difference in Volunteer Service.
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were filled with warmth, joy, and moments that made you smile.
As we step into 2026, we’re feeling inspired — and we’re so grateful to so many committed volunteers by our side for another year of impact throughout Sussex County. We’re excited to offer a new way to help — CHEER Connect!
CHEER Connect features two ways to connect with Sussex Seniors to meet needs that aren’t often made available: ”Kindness Calls” and “Kindness Rides”. We are looking for volunteers to help with each.
Kindness Calls:
Volunteers place friendly calls once per week to seniors who may be lonely or isolated. It’s a simple check-in, a friendly voice, a reminder that someone cares.
Kindness Rides:
Volunteers provide medical transportation within Sussex County for seniors who have no other option.
Meals On Wheels:
We still need volunteers to donate one hour per week to deliver Meals On Wheels. Currently, we have a significant need for drivers in Milton, Long Neck, Seaford, Laurel and Delmar.
Sign Up to Volunteer Today! Whether it’s an hour of your time or more, every act of kindness counts.
For more information on volunteer opportunities at CHEER, reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Monica Mandujano, at (302)515-0001 ext. 1166 or mmandujano@cheerde.com
To Our Current Volunteers: THANK YOU!
Your kindness, dedication, and hard work have touched countless lives in 2025; you’ve been the reason we’ve achieved so much together. Through your meal deliveries, thoughtful
gestures, and warm conversations, you’ve brought light and joy into the lives of those who needed it most.
Be sure to mark your calendar for CHEER’s “Volunteer Appreciation Brunch” on Friday, April 24th 2026.
More details to come!
