VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: GIVE A HELPING HAND TO AN ISOLATED SENIOR!
Imagine helping a senior get through this winter by helping them with shopping and errands or easing their loneliness by just having a cup of tea with them!
Did you feel isolated last winter? So did our local seniors who were stuck at home! SEARCH (Seek Elderly Alone, Renew Courage & Hope) is a local program based right here in our own community and administered by Catholic Charities Maine. SEARCH matches volunteers with seniors who may live alone and need a helping hand. Volunteers are needed to work throughout Sagadahoc County and the Brunswick/Harpswell area to provide seniors of all faiths with companionship, transportation, and assistance with errands or household projects.
If you can provide 2 to 4 hours a week to bring some warmth into the life of someone who is isolated and lonely, please give us a call and volunteer with us! Contact: Chris Szalay, Program Coordinator at 837-8810 or cszalay@ccmaine.org.
