    Description

    Help an elderly neighbor feel less alone with just a few hours a month

    Did you know that our community contains people we hardly see? Seniors who don't have family or friends to help them are often forced into nursing homes which can negatively impact their emotional wellbeing. APPLY TO VOLUNTEER NOW

    We are looking to build a community of people who will offer assistance to these underserved and often overlooked individuals. Just a couple of hours a month or more of helping with grocery shopping, cleaning, moving, yard care, and other living and home maintenance tasks could change the course of someone's life. If you believe caring for our elders is one thing community is for, please contact us.

    Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair, and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.
