Access to technology is important for staying connected and engaged in today's world, but navigating computers and cell phones can be challenging for some. You can make a difference by helping local seniors with basic technology questions such as: How do I send and receive emails? How do I save and share files? How can I share photos with my cell phone? How can I tell if an alert sent via email is fraudulent? Help in-person, or over the phone! We also hold periodic technology clinics where older adults can come and access volunteer help with for their computers, cell phones, and tablets. Clients are located in the 55406-55404 area of Minneapolis.

On Tuesday mornings, help us to pack much-needed food shelf items for homebound older adults in the community. Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors (LSHS) and Minnehaha Food Shelf (located in the Minnehaha United Methodist Church)joined forces back in August of 2020 with concern for elders in the community who were unable to pick up their food shelf items in-person due to the COVID pandemic. Although Covid restrictions have let up, there are still seniors who cannot leave home to get the food they need. Volunteers would meet at the food shelf and, along with LSHS staff, will pack individualized bags for clients, and help to load them into the delivery vehicles. All items go to older adults in the 55406-55404 community. We are looking for volunteers who could commit to 1 to 1 1/2 hours for at least one Tuesday a month. If you are able to lift up to 30 lbs, that is a bonus, but not a requirement.

Many older adults who no longer drive face challenges getting to medical appointments or running essential errands like grocery shopping. We seek individuals who enjoy driving and, more importantly, helping others stay connected and independent. Our mission at Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors is to empower seniors to live healthy, independent, and socially engaged lives. Reliable transportation for medical appointments and grocery shopping is vital to making this possible. As a Volunteer Driver, you will help seniors by providing rides to medical appointments and assisting with grocery pickup and delivery. Most trips are within 10 miles of the 55406/55404 area. If you are 19 or older, have a good driving record, and own a safe, well-maintained vehicle, we encourage you to join us in supporting our local seniors. A background check and orientation will be provided for all new volunteers.
