United We Age (UWA), a Treasure Coast based non profit organization, is seeking volunteers with smiles to bring cheer to community Seniors. We offer a Friends For Seniors program offering Seniors in need, social support by delivering birthday and holidy gifts to residents in long-term care facilities every month in the Vero Beach and Port St Lucie areas.

UWA is a volunteer-driven organization. Friends For Seniors brings a personal touch to Seniors by providing them with some outside friendly contact as well as birthday and holiday cards, gifts (e.g. clothing, toiletries and snacks) and essentials to let them know they are not forgotten and alone.

We are seeking volunteers to offer Seniors companionship and smiles. Time is flexible and the commitment is 1 to 4 hours per month.

Mission Statement

United We Age is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization established to serve the senior citizen population. It is a volunteer-driven organization based in Florida. Our goals and objectives are to: Assure that every person experiencing quality of life decline due to aging has a social support network, especially people living alone. Assure that age is not a barrier to seniors participating in the online (internet) world. Raise awareness and image building for senior citizens.

Description

We are a volunteer-driven organization offering social support for seniors facing challenges due to aging, and to assist them with communications technology to improve their quality of life. To this end, United We Age offers two programs:

  • Stay In Touch Program
  • Friends for Seniors Program

Many of us are fortunate to be living our senior years blessed with health, family, friends, and financial security. But there are millions of seniors who have little social support and are financially challenged. Our programs target these seniors in need.

Did you know there are approximately 3 million seniors living in long-term care/nursing facilities and almost half of them do not have any family/friends visit them throughout the year?
