Volunteers are Needed!
The mission of Open Your Heart to a Senior (formerly Faith in Action) is to extend the ability of adults over the age of 60 to live safely and independently in their homes. That independ-ence can be measured by avoiding the needs for long-term care, such as assisted living or nursing home care. Volunteers provide a range of non-medical services for free, that include escorted transportation to appointments and shop-ping, caregiver relief, supportive home visits, telephone reas-surance calls, home safety checks, errands and grocery shop-ping. Service is currently available in New Kensington, Arnold, Lower & Upper Burrell, Vandergrift and Allegheny Township. Volunteers receive training and support, and average 2-3 hours of service per week. Please consider volunteering to provide this meaningful service to a senior neighbor in need. For more information about receiving services or volunteering to help, please contact Open Your Heart to a Senior at 724-224-3199 or [email protected].
