Deliver flowers and visit with elders through our Friendship & Flowers program. Volunteers visit folks who live independently and in assisted living facilities. Each elder has something unique to share and offer and is looking forward to saying hey!
How can you participate in Friendship and Flowers?
This opportunity is offered on the second Saturday of each month. You can sign up for just one time- or as many months as you would like!
What will the day look like?
You will first stop by our Jamaica Plain office (3305 Washington Street). Please plan to spend 2-3 hours volunteering.
11:30-12:30 pm Orientation and basic training for new volunteers including opportunity to create your own bouquet of flowers! Returning volunteers are encouraged to attend and share their experiences.
12:30-1:00 pm Independent travel to elders' home
1:00-3:00 pm Visit with elder(s). You do not have to stay the full 2 hours, but please end the visit by 3:00 pm
Folks live all across the city, and all homes are MBTA accessible. Most offer parking for volunteers. If you are visiting at an assisted living facility, the staff will know that you are coming and will help you locate your elder when you arrive at the facility. At the assisted living facilities, you can visit in your choice of indoor and outdoor community spaces at their residence.
