Description:
Volunteers drive senior clients to their doctor appointments, dentist appointments, dialysis, pharmacy, grocery store, bank and more.
If you, or someone you know, has an extra hour a week, a month or even just a little time here and there, then think about helping a local senior to remain independent and to age in place with dignity. There are no minimum volunteer hours. You can volunteer on your schedule when it works for you.
Interfaith Caregivers is very thankful for the support provided by AmeriCorps Seniors. Interfaith’s AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer) Program provides support services to local seniors and individuals with disabilities so they can lead healthy and independent lives while aging in place with dignity.
Our AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers assist Ozaukee seniors through:
- Transportation to medical and therapy appointments, in-and-out of Ozaukee County.
- Grocery shopping and errand-running
- Friendly visits
- Reassuring phone calls
- Respite Care–enhanced friendly visits (non-medical services)
- Assisting with education initiatives and special projects
- Tracking, checking-in/out equipment for our Ozaukee h.e.l.p. Corner, a health equipment lending program that lends wheelchairs, walkers and canes free of charge.
