About this opportunity
You can change a life in two hours or less! When older people become less active, they can also feel forgotten. You can help today, visit a senior, help with their mail, hold their hand while they wait for the doctor to call them in, grab lunch (read more below about 'secret sauce') or shop for groceries. Your inner talents can be put to use with a neighbor who is blind right in your neighborhood. Requirements to be a great volunteer include... this is the secret sauce-you! a desire to help others; a pleasant demeanor; a good reading/speaking voice; average reading skills; organizational or planning abilities; a good driving record; a clear criminal history; two references access to a car with proof of insurance; a minimum of $50/100k liability and $5,000 of property damage coverage. Volunteers will be matched within three to five miles of home or work.
