About this Opportunity
37% of seniors report feeling lonely and 34% of seniors report feeling socially isolated.
Socialization is a vital human need: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6125010/
We are looking for caring individuals who want to be a helping friend to seniors and adults with disabilities. You'll have interesting conversations, learn new things, and improve the quality of someone's life by helping them stay in their home.
Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income older adults and adults living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair, and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.
Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application form, pass a Washington State Patrol check and attend an orientation.
