We all need help sometimes. For some people, this help can be what helps them stay in their homes. Studies show that receiving in-home care promotoes a higher quality of life than facility living. We serve low-income seniors and adults with disabilities who just need a little help to continue living independently. We need people like you to help! Build a relationship with a client and help long-term, or offer single day and short term assistance. We'll find something that best fits your preferences and your schedule.
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.
