If you love helping seniors and live close to the Castro area, NEXT Village SF would love your help! Visit a senior female who's on hospice care for an hour, or so, once a week and brighten her day with your presence. Providing undivided attention to a senior can boost their spirit and ease their mind. Spend a little time with this dear senior and you will make a big difference!
95% of us want to grow old in the comfort of our own home. NEXT's goal is to help the elderly in Northeast SF do just that! We also work to increase the member's well being by reducing social isolation and loneliness by hosting workshops, cultural events and outings. Some of our members have lived in their homes/apartments for 40 years-plus.
NEXT Volunteers help by: providing companionship, helping with technology, providing transportation to the grocery store, errands, medical appointments, or social events, leading a class or speaking about something interesting to a group.
Become a part of our NEXT Neighbor team and start making a difference today!
