Be A Companion!

ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Services

Wonderful, spunky, energetic senior is looking for a companion! It's the easiest volunteer work you can do, and yet you will still be improving and impacting a person's life. Lonlieness often leads to depression in seniors which can lead to a lack of self care. Spending your time chatting, hearing stories, and being a friend.

Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income elders and persons living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.

Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a background check, provide driver's license and auto insurance, and attend an orientation and training. If providing transportation, must be 21 years of age and over. We provide mileage reimbursement and volunteers will need to pass a driver's abstract.
