Calling for a supportive and encouraging female volunteer from the city of Pomona! We are looking for a female volunteer who lives or works in Pomona or a nearby community. This senior lives in a lovely senior development. She has a very quiet small dog and a canary in a cage. She does not leave the house very often due to medical problems, but she is alert, conversational, interesting and friendly.
If you have an interest in interior design, playing games or working on scrapbooking then we may have found a match! Becoming a volunteer is an easy process - please contact us at 562-637-7175 or send an email to thershberg@scanhealthplan.com, otherwise you can also sign up at scan.samritan.com!
Here at Volunteer Action for Aging, a community service of SCAN Health Plan, we have a free Friendly Visitor Program that provides weekly visits to isolated older adults. We look for in individuals who will be able to fill these friendly visitor roles not only to volunteer, but to bring their friendship, support, and companionship to someone who will greatly benefit from it.
