Lighten the load for a senior

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Services

It's so easy for you; a quick run of the vaccuum, taking the garbage out, putting the sheets on the bed. For this 76-year-old who lives alone in an apartment, those are things that she has to give a lot of thought how to do much less actually take care of. In 90 minutes to 2 hours every other week you can help take the load off. She'll make it easy for you with wonderful coversation and good company.

Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income elders and persons living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light house cleaning, 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.
