There cannot be enough said about the unconditional hope and joy, friendly visitor
communicates to a suffering person, possibly someone who can no longer speak or walk. How
much easier to draw a person out than sitting with them to hold a hand to do their nails?


There are at least 6 LITA served SNF locations possible for volunteers to visit in Contra Costa county
Help LITA accomplish our mission to improve the quality of life for the ever growing and
increasingly isolated populations in skilled nursing facilities. Budgets for staff and stimulating
activities are only shrinking. That’s why delivery of LITA’s services are invaluable. We NEED YOU!
