Volunteers Needed

If you have an hour to spare, during the weekdays between 8:00 am-5:00 pm would you consider driving a homebound neighbor to a local doctor’s appointment?

What about a quick trip to the super market to pick up a few essentials for a neighbor unable to drive any longer and who might otherwise go without fresh food?

If you have more time, you could become a friendly visitor to a homebound neighbor who yearns for company: someone to chat with, play cards, drink coffee, or discuss a book or news headline.

Please consider being a part of something important that affects real people in your community. Call us at (516) 822-3535 x345 or email norc@mijycc.org for more information.
