Make a difference in a senior's life: Volunteers are needed by Senior Outreach Services (SOS) to visit and assist seniors for two or more hours each week with the goal of helping them remain independent in their own home.
Help a senior who is homebound, frail, and has limited income by providing social and emotional support. You could help with a ride to the doctor's office, grocery store, and other needed errands. Your weekly contact would mean the world to an elder living alone.

Make a Difference in Your Community!
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) shows you how you can apply the skills and wisdom you've gained throughout your life to make a positive difference in the lives of others. RSVP volunteers age 55 and older serve through schools, social service organizations, police departments, hospitals and other nonprofit and public organizations to help meet critical community needs. RSVP offers flexibility and choice to its volunteers. RSVP matches the personal interests and skills of its volunteers with opportunities to help solve community problems and offers supplemental insurance while on duty and on-the-job training from the agency or organization where volunteers are placed.
