If you want to make a difference in your life as well as in the lives of local seniors, we have opportunities.
We welcome individuals of all ages. Students can meet community service requirements and businesses can reach out to the community with corporate volunteers.
Retired professionals have many skills that we need: organization and problem solving, fundraising, speaking experience, and professional expertise in health, nutrition, accounting, insurance and many other fields. We have opportunities for those who like a challenge.
Most of our programs depend on volunteers and we could not deliver nearly as many services without them.
