    Description

    Someone Remembers that You Were Kind- Even if You Have forgotten

    Someone Still Remembers Something You Did that Was Kind, even if you have forgotten. You can bring that energy back to your life and their life too by becoming a volunteer with a neighbor who is no longer able to drive due to vision loss. It takes less than 10 minutes and less than 10 days for us to make a great match for you with a neighbor. What would you do? Read and sort their mail, identify the important things, sort and label household items, go to the bank, farmer’s market, grocery store or pharmacy. Adventurous? Try an outdoor concert on the town green, pumpkin patch or apple festival, or just sit and listen; hear their story and share yours. Good volunteers are best friends! If you aren’t sure and what to chat about your situation and how we can make that work, call me 860-602-4129 but if you are ready to go, fill out the Idealist info and I will be in touch!
