If you are age 55 or over and want to help Seniors remain living independently, giving them dignity while they age, and help them live healthier - this opportunity is for you. There is a wait list of people who need help doing simple chores, going grocery shopping, getting to the doctor, or doing activities such as walking with a friend, playing games or going out to lunch and you can help them!
If you have 15 hours a week to help a person in need please contact Laura at 406-728-7682 or by email at fgpscp@missoulaagingservices.org for more details. You may even be eligible for mileage reimbursement and a tax free stipend- all for doing what you can to help someone in need.
