Make Tie Blankets with Seniors!
Volunteer Action for Aging brings activities to seniors to keep them socially engaged. We are always seeking volunteers that enjoy creating friendships with seniors.
For this activity, we will be hosting a blanket making event. We will be tying patriotic blankets with a group of seniors. The blankets will be donated at a future date to senior veterans in need. No experience necessary, just the desire to chat with seniors.
