Thanksgiving Day is a day full of tradition and a time to give thanks for all the wonderful things in our lives. One way of giving thanks is by helping to serve seniors in need or are isolated and lonely. Volunteer Action for Aging would like to invite you to join the annual Thanksgiving Meal Delivery Event in Oxnard as we serve seniors that would not otherwise have a warm turkey dinner with all the fixings.
We need 40 volunteers to help deliver meals at two different senior apartments on Thanksgiving morning. The event takes about 2 hours beginning at 10:00 AM and finishes around lunchtime. Special need for Bilingual Spanish speaking volunteers is being requested.
Join us to create a Thanksgiving Day tradition with Volunteer Action for Aging!
