Give Veteran and Military Family Caregivers a Break!

Are you looking for a way to connect and give back to your community? Do you have a passion for helping others? Do you cherish older adults and their treasure trove of experiences? If so, consider volunteering with the Aging Strong program!

Their stories are not unique: A daughter juggling her father's medical appointments while still working full-time; a wife providing round-the-clock care for her husband who has Parkinson's Disease; a husband who lovingly bathes and dresses his wife, although she no longer remembers his name. Family caregivers comprise over 40,000 of our friends, neighbors, and fellow residents of the Treasure Valley. More often than not, these unsung heroes provide 24/7 care for their loved ones without a break. Aging Strong wants to change that. Our volunteers are matched with a nearby family and provide them 2-4 hours of companionship respite each week. Volunteers do not assist with personal care needs. If you have the desire to help others, listen to the stories of seniors, provide your support to a family, or simply share your heart and a smile, we have many opportunities for you to shine. If you know someone who might like this opportunity, please pass it on.
