Volunteers needed in Northern Virginia (NoVA) to visit with older adults or adults with disabilities while their caregivers get a much needed break. No "hands-on" care required. Volunteers act as companions while family caregivers get a chance to relax, or accomplish other tasks. You may find yourself watching TV together, reading out loud, chatting about issues of interest, working on a puzzle, or going for a walk in the neighborhood. Training is provided and you will be matched with a person who suits your interests and availability.
Most respite care volunteers volunteer twice a month for 2 hours at a time.
For this and other meaningful volunteer opportunities contact Volunteer Solutions at 703-324-5406, TTY 711, VolunteerSolutions@fairfaxcounty.gov, or visit:
