Mission Statement
Assistance for Independent Living volunteers help support homebound Seniors in the east valley remain independent in their own homes. We do this by providing rides for doctor and other medical appointments. We provide rides and other light assistance for grocery shopping and nutrition. We also work against isolation by providing friendly visits and phone calls.
It's a partnership between our volunteers and homebound neighbors over 55 that not only helps these neighbors live independently as long as possible, but strengthens our communities along the way.
Description
After going through an orientation and background check, volunteers are offered opportunities to provide transportation and/or socialization services for our homebound neighbors over 55. Volunteers accept only those opportunities that interest them, and they are available for. All we ask for is a minimum of two hours a month for 12 months. Some do exactly that, and it has a powerful impact on our neighbors and communities. Some do more as they are interested and able.
