Elderly Services

Senior Caregivers
Volunteers are needed to provide companionship to the homebound and isolated elderly. Volunteers may assist in food delivery, errand running, transportation to and from medical appointments, telephone reassurance, prepare light meals, and/or light housekeeping. This opportunity would be great for an individual as well as for a small group of volunteers to work as a care team for one homebound senior citizen. After a trial visit, 4 hours a month for one year is requested. Flexible hours.

Looking for individuals available to escort participants on trips/walks in the neighborhood.

Volunteers are needed to facilitate a group birthday party for our seniors. Volunteers are also needed to conduct a mini-church service. Suggested ideas to conduct the service would be: prayer and devotion, piano playing, singing, and scripture reading. Prefer groups who are able to commit to once a month for one hour.
