Senior Citizen Support


Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that is flexible with busy schedules, but still allows you to make a difference for someone in need? As a volunteer for a senior citizen, you will have the chance to help a senior in your community stay in their home by assisting with tasks that have become more difficult in recent years.




Possible Needs:

  • Vacuuming, dusting, mopping, or other light housekeeping needs
  • Grocery shopping
  • Organizing  items
  • Writing cards or letters for them
  • Reading
  • Yard Maintenance Comment below and help us come up with more ideas!
How do you begin?

  • Contact your local church office and request a list of senior citizens that need some assistance.
  • Contact the senior citizen and decide on a time to help.
  • Create a list of chores to be completed.  
  • Take a plate of cookies or flowers to brighten their home and lift their spirits! Include a note sharing the love of Christ.  
  • Follow up with a note of encouragement and remind them of why you serve!
