Interested in Helping a Senior In Need?
ElderSource, the Area Agency on Aging for Northeast Florida is looking for volunteers to help seniors sign up for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP. There are approximately 32,000 seniors living in northeast Florida who are potentially eligible for SNAP benefits, but are not taking advantage of this resource.
Volunteers are needed to assist seniors with completing SNAP applications online, advocating for the benefits of the SNAP program, as well as educating the community against stigmas that prevent older adults from utilizing this program.
A minimum of four (4) hours per week is desired.
Call today and make a difference in the life of a senior!
