Volunteers
assist older adults, children with
special needs, and their families.
Older adults receive
non-medical assistance aimed at helping them remain independent in their own
homes.
The
Volunteer Caregivers
and
Strong for Life
programs are for older adults.
Services include:
·
Bill paying or record keeping assistance

Exercise

Friendly visiting

Meal preparation and/or delivery

Children with special needs due to a disability or chronic health condition
may receive a friendly visitor or mentor who visits them at home nearly
every week. The
Family Friends
program serves children with special needs.
Volunteers do not do
hands-on professional, medical or emergency care. Services being provided
are those that an unpaid, adult relative or good neighbor might do.
