Placentia-Yorba Meals On Wheels: Volunteer Background Screening

In Placentia, California, Placentia-Yorba Meals On Wheels helps older adults and vulnerable neighbors through community meal and nutrition support. Volunteers in a program like this can end up in someone's home or one on one with an older adult, so a consistent background check belongs in the process.

With VolunteerBadge, screening takes a few minutes per volunteer: consent-first identity verification and a national criminal check, with results back quickly. The platform is free for nonprofits and each national check is $5, so screening never becomes a budget line.
