ORGANIZATION: Catholic Community Services' Volunteer Services

  • 5 people are interested

Volunteer Services is looking for safe drivers to help low income older adults and disabled folk get to those important medical appointments and essential errands in Lewis, Mason, and Thurston Counties. We reimburse mileage and match your schedule with our clients. Long trips or just around town, a volunteer can make so much possible for an 80yr old who no longer drives!

About Catholic Community Services' Volunteer Services

Mission Statement

We believe every child should grow up in a safe, loving and nurturing environment We believe the elderly should be able to live with security and dignity. We believe healthy family life should be affirmed and supported in our communities We believe in compassion, love and respect for all people, especially the poor and most vulnerable. We believe in joining with others to change systems that oppress, discriminate or otherwise cause human suffering. We believe employees and volunteers should work in an environment that fosters respect, teamwork and excellence. We believe in all of these things for all people, whatever their color, whatever language they speak or however they worship.

Description

Our program exists as a safety net for low-income elders and people with disabilities (also low-income)by providing them with services that allow them to remain living as independently as possible in their own homes (not assisted living). For example, a 89 year old woman who only collects $600/mo. in Social Security needs help with her lawn. She can't afford to pay someone, and if her lawn goes a couple of months without being mowed, now the lawn is a fire hazard.
