Edit Meals

From this screen you can add a volunteer to the daily meal list. If your site has a meal ticket printer, you can also print a meal ticket. The Meal List at the bottom of the screen automatically lists all volunteers who have logged in on the current date and requested a meal ticket and all volunteers entered manually by Voluntary Services staff using this screen.

The Unscheduled column of the Meal List shows volunteers entitled to receive a meal who do not appear in the VSS database as regularly scheduled volunteers. Site staff determine who qualifies to receive an unscheduled meal. This list can be used to grant meals to occasional volunteers or walk-ins; substituting for manually written tickets. The Reprint column in the Meal List lists Yes for volunteers whose meal tickets have been requested twice (due to auto-login malfunctions, for example).

To add a regularly scheduled volunteer to the daily meal list

  1. Enter at least the first three letters of the volunteer's last name in the Add Volunteer Last Name field. Click the Choose button.
  2. The Select Volunteer dropdown list will appear if there is more than one volunteer at the site whose name starts with that sequence of letters. If there is only one name in the database starting with those letters, that name will automatically appear in the Add Volunteer Last Name field.
  3. If the Select Volunteer dropdown list appears, select the full name from the list.
  4. Click the Add button. The volunteer's name will appear in the Meal List.

Note: If you see the message, "Volunteer has been terminated, no actions allowed", you will need to get permission from the Voluntary Services staff to add this volunteer as an unscheduled volunteer.

To add an unscheduled volunteer to the daily meal list

  1. Type the volunteer's name (last name first) in the Unscheduled Volunteer field. If that field is not available, click the Clear button to make it appear.
  2. Click the Add button. The volunteer's name will appear in the Meal List.

To delete a volunteer from the Meal List

Click the Delete button to the right of the volunteer's name.

To print a meal ticket for a volunteer in the Meal List
