In an effort to find caring, local volunteers in the East Harlem area, Search and Care will be hosting a volunteer open house at La Casa Azul Bookstore on TuesdaySeptember 30th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm; wine and cheese will be served.
East Harlem is home to our largest percentage of elderly at-risk women and men, living near or at poverty level. There is a major need for bilingual local volunteers to spend an hour with an older neighbor for a weekly friendly visit, escorts to medical appointments, read to a person visually impaired, or walk a dog for the frail client who cannot afford a dog walker for their beloved companion. Let's see if we're a great fit for your generous time.
RSVP required in advance to East Harlem Volunteer Coordinator Herbert at 212-289-5300 X211
