Seniors on a Mission

Description:

Seniors on a Mission engages live-alone senior citizens in meaningful, team-oriented volunteerism at local nonprofit organizations. The project reduces the social isolation that can lead to depression and medical problems in older persons by providing safe, convenient transportation to accessible, comfortable places to work; a nutritious meal; and coordination with the needs of area nonprofits. The seniors' pro bono services have been enthusiastically received for projects such as bar-coding new elementary textbooks, labeling thousands of fundraising letters, and repairing items donated to a clothing bank.
