Volunteer Opportunities
| At
this time of year when we reflect on our blessings, it would be a good time to
remember our homebound seniors who may be spending the holidays alone. Do you
or a friend have one hour a week that you could spend with a senior, it would
be so much appreciated. Do you know a senior who could use a holiday dinner delivered?
When you are out doing your errands could you take a little more time and pick
up a prescription, or do some other errand for a senior who has no means of transportation?
