ELDER SERVICES THROUGHOUT CENTRAL WASHINGTON
From companionship programs and volunteer services that help with day-to-day chores to relief for overburdened caregivers, we offer services to help this often-marginalized population.
Volunteer Services
Help low-income seniors to stay in their homes by assisting with transportation and helping with yard work. Make a big difference by giving just a few hours per week.
Senior Companions (55+)
Senior companion volunteers provide emotional support and friendship. This can mean meeting at the senior’s home, giving them rides to appointments, doing crafts or other activities, but most of all, just spending time with them.
