Help seniors in North-Northwest Seattle by helping with yardwork and chores, driving them to appointments, walking the dog, and checking in. Aside from getting to help someone like your Gramma, the beauty of this volunteer gig is the flexibility - you get to select which opportunities work for you. Volunteers are thoroughly vetted so you can help our members on-on-one and in the member’s home. Volunteers must be healthy to serve, fully vaccinated & boosted against COVID-19, and wear a mask when indoors/within 6 feet of the member. Tasks include, but are not limited to, the following: Yardwork Drive senior to a doctor's appointment. Take garbage or recycling bin to the curb. Grocery shop, pick up groceries ordered online, or pick up prescriptions. Order groceries online for a member. Laundry. Visiting outside in the fresh air (at least 6 feet apart). Additionally, our monthly volunteer orientation sessions will be held virtually until further notice.

Virtual Opportunity
Help us connect with each other, in the old-fashioned way! Seniors are needed to help kids learn the art of letter writing, practice penmanship and communicate with an adult outside their household. And kids are needed to write back! Both get snail mail and a new friend in the process! We match up kids with seniors (or kids with other kids, if preferred), make introductions and send writing prompts. We currently have pen pals in 46 states, and are aiming to get participation from all 50 states, plus DC and Puerto Rico. Learn more and sign up: https://www.phinneycenter.org/pen-pal/
