Every driver enters a senior’s home. Screening your volunteers is a simple, defensible way to protect the people you serve. Run a national check in minutes, free for your nonprofit, $5 per check.
Meals on Wheels works because volunteers show up at the door, week after week. That trust is the point, and it is also why a background check belongs in your onboarding.
Drivers enter the homes of older adults who often live alone, sometimes with a key or a standing schedule.
Serving a vulnerable population comes with a responsibility to place volunteers you have reasonably vetted.
The same volunteer returns to the same homes, so a one-time, consistent check is well worth the few minutes it takes.
Email a link or share a QR code. Your volunteers apply from their phone in a few minutes.
A government ID and selfie confirm the real person, then the $5 national check runs with the volunteer’s consent.
A verified badge lands on your roster, with FCRA adverse-action handled for you when records appear.

Starting, staffing, running, and funding a senior meal delivery program.
Most programs choose to screen. Drivers enter the homes of older adults who live alone, often with a key or a standing schedule. A background check is a reasonable, defensible step that protects the seniors you serve and the program that places the volunteer.
The platform is free for nonprofits with no per-seat fees. Each national background check is $5 (one credit). Bulk credit bundles bring it as low as $4 per check, and credits never expire. There are no contracts.
Most checks come back in minutes. Volunteers apply from their phone, confirm their identity with a government ID and a selfie, and a green verified status (or a flagged review) lands on your roster.
Yes. Every check is consent-first with permissible-purpose handling and built-in adverse-action steps. The volunteer authorizes the check before it runs, and any records are human-reviewed before they reach you.
A national criminal search across county, state, and federal court records, sex-offender registries in all 50 states, and federal watchlists, plus identity verification and a free address-history check.
Set up your program in a few minutes and run your first check for $5. No contract, cancel anytime.
