Caring Companions 3

Looking for a win/win volunteer opportunity? Everyone benefits from companionship and social contact. When you are caring for a loved one, it can become increasingly difficult to take care of yourself. By giving just 2 hours of your time once a week, you are giving family caregivers a much needed break, as well as giving their loved one the opportunity to spend time with you! Caring Companion volunteers know that they are serving their community in a meaningful and impactful way.

  • Volunteers DO provide much needed socialization and friendship, and caregiver respite.
  • Volunteers DO NOT provide personal care, meal preparation, or transportation.
  • Support and training is provided.


What family caregivers are saying: ""Our volunteer has been wonderful. She almost feels like family and has remained close through COVID."
What volunteers are saying: "My experience with VOA Caring Companions has been by far the most rewarding experience since I started volunteering."
