The Eldercare Locater has launched its 4th annual drive to encourage older adults to volunteer during the holiday season and share their unique abilities and talents.

Studies show that older adults who keep physically and socially active suffer less depression and fewer physical ailments. Volunteering provides purpose and an opportunity to contribute.

The Eldercare Locator links to local Area Agencies on Aging and Title VI programs that can connect older adults to a variety of volunteer programs that involve people of all ages and backgrounds. These include planning events for children’s charities, visiting the homebound, serving as a foster grandparent, and cooking and delivering meals to those in need.

‘Tis the season for giving and the rewards are oten greater than any gift you could receive this Christmas.
