Looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity but have limited time to spare? Grocery shopping for a Newton senior (either accompanied by the senior or not) might be what you've been looking for. Newton at Home is a membership organization created to provide Newton seniors with support and social connections that help them remain in their homes as they age. Many of the more than 200 members no longer drive and depend on volunteers to take them to supermarkets or to do the grocery shopping for them, particularly during the covid19 crisis. You provide this service when convenient for you and the senior involved. If you are able to give a few hours during the week, please sign up for an opportunity to assist a Newton senior. You will be rewarded by meeting some of the most remarkable Newton residents while you perform a vital community service. For more information and no obligation whatsoever, call Newton at Home at 617-795-2560.

Mission Statement
We empower older adults in Newton to retain their independence and stay socially connected as they age by providing an array of services and programs to enrich their lives and help meet their daily needs.
Description
Newton at Home is a member-led, volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides older adults in Newton with the information and resources to optimize choices for healthy, independent aging wherever they call home. Through programming, services, and strategic partnerships, we strive to bolster community health across Newton, promote intergenerational ties, support at-risk low-income seniors, and ease access to health-care.
We provide a variety of personalized services and programs that help combat social isolation and meet the essential daily needs of our members, including: transportation, taking out trash, small repairs around the house, grocery shopping, help with technology, friendly visits, and phone check-in calls. We also offer a rich and varied monthly schedule of programs and activities (walks, lectures, museum visits, meals, performances, and special events) that promote lifelong learning as well as member health and engagement.
