About
Be a Senior Buddy to a Senior by providing one-on-one companionship a couple hours a week to relive a family caregiver through the Interfaith Volunteer Caregiver Program (IVCP). Respite volunteers provide in-home visits to older adults being cared for by family members. Volunteers are matched with a family and serve as a friendly visitor for about 2 hours once a week providing the caregiver with a much-needed break.
Opportunities available in your area: Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Manchester, Milan, Saline & Ypsilanti.
