Meals on Wheels, Takoma Park and Silver Spring
Takoma Park and Silver Spring, Maryland
The challenge
An in-home senior meal program depends on volunteers who enter the homes of older adults, often on a recurring route. That trust is the heart of the service, and it raises the bar for how carefully the program vets the people it places. The program needed screening that was consistent, defensible, and easy to run without adding cost or administrative load for a lean nonprofit team.
The solution
The program screens its volunteers with VolunteerBadge. Every check is consent-first: the volunteer authorizes the check, confirms their identity with a government ID and a selfie, and a national criminal search runs for $5. Records are human-reviewed with FCRA adverse-action steps built in, and the whole process is self-serve from a simple admin dashboard. Because the platform is free for nonprofits, the program only pays the per-check cost.
