    Description

    Senior Celebration Event Volunteers – Lunar New Year & Valentine’s Party (Feb. 12th)

    About the Opportunity: Many seniors at Rotary Haciendas don’t have frequent visitors. By joining this celebration, you help build community and brighten someone’s day — even for a few hours.

    What You’ll Do: We are having a Lunar New Year/Valentine's Party for Seniors at Rotary Haciendas. HIP Housing is hosting this party in partnership with Mobile Recreation of San Mateo. Here's a timeline of what the activity includes and volunteers are welcome to join in anytime after 1pm:

    • 1-2pm: volunteers can start coming to finish setup
    • 2-3pm: Volunteer can start off helping with Valentine's card craft activity with San Mateo Mobile Recreation
    • 3-4:30pm: party, serve food & drinks, hang out with the senior residents
    • 4:30-5:30pm: cleanup

    Who We’re Looking For: Great for teens, community groups, and anyone who loves spending time with older adults.

    Our Mission: HIP Housing builds community and connection for older adults in San Mateo, supporting independence and reducing isolation through social events and support services.
