Volunteer Cleaning Oven
Great shot of a volunteer showing off the recently cleaned oven in an elder's apartment!

Did you know that many seniors are lonely and depressed? Martha lives in her one bedroom apartment. She used to be in nursing and hospital security. She struggles with depression/anxiety. she has 1 small dog. She would like to go shopping with someone at first then have someone go shopping for her. She feels isolated. She'd like help with vacuuming, meal prep, help changing bed, and laundry, which is on each floor. She gets her food stamps on the 12th of the month.

Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair, and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.

Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check and attend an orientation.
