Neighbor Network - Volunteer!

Save to Favorites

Examples of opportunities that might arise from a senior inquiry for services from Good Neighbors:

• Home visiting: Visit those members who find it difficult to get out-a friendly visit can be once a week, a month. Stop by for a visit and make a new friend.
• Friendly phone calls: Perfect for those individuals who love to chat! Contact a neighbor by phone just to "check in" and share the news.
• Walking: Walking is more fun in groups! Join your neighbors, create a group and encourage each other to walk for good health.
• Driving: Drivers are especially encouraged to volunteer. We need volunteers to help Good Neighbors members (seniors) get to and from medical appointments and for other errands.
• Escort: Accompany a member to the doctor, worship service, hairdresser, or other appointment or visit out of the home.
• Gardening or plant care in or out of the home.
• Grocery shopping: Accompany a member grocery shopping and help them with the packages or pick up the list and do the shopping for them.
• Sewing: Sewing, knitting and other crafts.
• Pet care: Walk the dog, brush the cat, put out food and water.
• Running errands: If you don't drive, but love to walk, you can help our members by running errands.
• Computer support: Help members set up equipment such as phones, video, routers, computers and learn to use them. Identify technology problems and provide solutions or recommend professional services.
• Hold a workshop on a subject of your interest.
• Reading aloud for individuals or group.
• Social events and educational programs: Initiate and arrange events of interest to our members. Locate and recommend programs and events.
