Senior Companion volunteers are matched with individuals in need to help supplement their care needs or provide companionship.

Volunteers may be asked to assist their clients with mailings and bills or with transportation to and from meal sites or for light errands or medical appointments. Volunteers may also elect to help with light housekeeping such as taking out the trash, doing dishes, or helping with laundry. All volunteers provide companionship to their clients, to help mitigate the adverse effects of isolation and loneliness among these vulnerable groups.

Volunteers can expect a rewarding experience serving as a senior companion. A small hourly stipend that does not count towards taxable income is paid for service. Volunteers are reimbursed for any miles driven to perform their companion duties and are also offered regular training opportunities and service recognition events.
