Adopt a Senior! Community Action’s Volunteer Services Program is looking for community volunteers to provide direct services for elderly and disabled adults. Volunteers are needed to provide housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, yard work, transportation, moving assistance, firewood chopping and stacking, minor home repair, and more as we strive to help clients remain living independently in their own homes. With summer fast approaching, help with yard care is especially appreciated. Adopt a senior's yard to take care of for the summer! COVID protocol in place to provide for safety.
Groups and individuals are greatly needed to work as a team on weekdays or weekends to assist with these services on a regular basis.
Location and Time Commitment: Senior and Disabled volunteer services go wherever they are called, so locations vary throughout Skagit County. We try to match the location of our clients with that of volunteers, depending on current needs.
Time ranges between 2-6 hours per week; firewood projects and moving typically happen on Saturdays.
Volunteer Benefits: Increase the quality of life for a senior or adult with a disability, gain new friendships, make the community a safer place to live, and gain new skills you can put on a resume.
Community Need Met: Community Action’s senior and disabled services program is one of the largest volunteer based programs in the area that meets one of the greatest needs by providing this population of individuals with dignity and a safe, healthy home. Without volunteers these needs would not be met.
