About this initiative:
Arrow & Slocan Lakes Community Services Friendly Visiting volunteers help seniors who live in the following areas: Nakusp, Burton, Fauquier, Edgewood and surrounding areas. Our Better at Home programs support seniors with simple, day-to-day tasks that allow them to live independently and remain connected to their communities.
What you will be helping with:
·Grocery shop for a senior’s needs. Volunteers either shop with a senior on a given day, or receive a list and have 1-3 days to complete the shop and deliver it to the senior’s home.
Other Helpful Information:
- Select shifts that meet your availability.
·In most cases, you must have access to a vehicle, however for some this may not be necessary.
·This volunteer role would be a good fit for those with some free time during daytime (store opening) hours.
