    Description

    Currently seeking volunteers for Sweetest Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

    On the week of Valentine's Day, Easter, Sweetest Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas volunteers will deliver special gifts to seniors in the Southwest Detroit area.

    Bridging Communities, Inc provides a chance for social support and community connection with our seniors by sending a friendly volunteer to bring you a small gift and check on you.

    We call these deliveries remembrances because we like to remember our elders during the times they are often forgotten. This short visit of gift-giving is often the only visit an elder might have that month. We ask volunteers to report back any concerns that need to be addressed.

    A background check is required and you must have your own transportation. If you are interested in helping us support seniors please email us at volunteer@bridgingcommunities.org or call 313-265-3689.
