He visually impaired and would love someone to come for a visit once in a while to cook, clean, and help him do laundry. He is also interested in learning more about American culture.
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.
