Bellingham, WA 98226
Join in fun activities and help guide seniors with Alzheimer's or other mild-to-moderate cognitive issues to have a meaningful day in a casual environment. We have openings for friendly volunteers once a week to help our members stay socially engaged and active. We play music and cards, try out art projects, and generally laugh and learn and tell stories at this non-residential daytime memory program for older adults. We welcome volunteering adults of any age or skill-set. Retired, student or freelancer with flexibility, these few hours will enhance your week and that of so many others. Simply bring your smile and willingness to engage. Once a week for 5-6 hours. Choose Wednesdays or Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. We have a large meeting room in a welcoming church. We usually host between 6-10 seniors, sometimes a few more or less. You'll be with 2 knowledgeable staff daily and sometimes other volunteers. If you can arrive at 9 a.m. to help set up chairs, etc, assist with the activities of the day, serve and share lunch, and help tidy up at the end of the day, then this is a great fit. A 6-hour shift is preferred. Shorter shifts are also very helpful. Come help us create a welcoming environment of fun, respect and joy.
