    Description

    Attention Retired Social Workers - Do GOOD! Without the paperwork and case management stress!

    If you love the warm feeling of success when you connect a person with the proper resources but don't miss the paperwork, documentation and case management burdens, this is the place for you! Our volunteers just do the good and leave the case management headaches behind. Could you connect with an elderly person who has legal blindness to read and sort their mail, help them connect with transportation options in their area, complete redetermination paperwork or take them out to the store for fresh fruits and vegetables. Our task list is pretty basic and wait for it... no admin meetings, no heavy caseloads - just you, one new friend and lots of successful outcomes. Join us today and you can shop, read, visit and enjoy life the way it was meant to be; shared with someone who needs you. Reach out NOW!
