HERE IS WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:
We need you.
Volunteer as a Visitor!
When you volunteer, you will make a new friend or two, lift the spirits of an isolated senior, know that you made a difference, and feel a greater sense of purpose. A brief training and monthly support group is available. If you are interested in becoming a peer visitor, please contact the center.
YOU may be the only contact a lonely senior may have!
