We help seniors survive, thrive and jive no matter where they are in the aging process.How can you volunteer to empower older adults in your community?
• Call homebound, socially isolated seniors with TeleCare – right from your home or office!
• Be a companion to an older adult with our Friendly Visitor program. We match volunteers and seniors based on their interests, and help build long-lasting friendships.
• Are you 50+ and active or know someone who is? CATCH may be the place for you. Get children up and moving and share healthy snacks – all while having fun!
• Share a special skill or talent with participants at our Senior Center. We’re always looking for one-day workshops or on-going lessons – from crafts to budgeting.
How can you support our work?
ElderServe receives support from local, state and federal grants. We are also proud to be a Metro United Way agency. However, we could not provide services to the older adults in our community without the support of individual donors like you. Every dollar makes a difference! Please visit www.elderserveinc.org or call 502.587.8673 to find out more about donating to ElderServe.
