    Description

    Mid Week Conversation Friend for Elderly

    The Huron Valley Pace Day in Ypsilanti buses low-income elderly to the Day Center/medical clinic for their all-around well-being. Volunteers socialize with our participants at tables and during craft/game time to increase the value of each individual. Volunteers may also walk participants to the medical clinic or assist with the food pantry. A special need is for volunteers who speak Mandarin, Russian, Creole, Spanish and Arabic.
