    Description

    Make a Meaningful Connection—Bring Joy, Comfort, and Companionship

    We’re seeking compassionate volunteers to spend time with a friendly elder in Des Moines who is navigating a bit of confusion and agitation around his current living situation. He dreams of returning to his independent apartment and would benefit greatly from kind, steady volunteer companionship.

    Despite the challenges, he lights up when talking about his children and grandchildren. He has a rich life story—once an avid athlete who played football, baseball, and volleyball, and a traveler who’s explored states like Florida, Alabama, and Washington. He enjoys fishing, playing pool, listening to music, and dancing.

    Your presence can make a real difference. Whether it’s sharing stories, enjoying music together, or simply being a calming presence, your time can bring comfort and joy.

    In-person opportunity

    Location: Des Moines, WA 98198

    Flexible scheduling available
