We are in need of volunteers!
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, call 987-3113, and speak to Lori, or visit the office.
Volunteers are essential to the Senior Center! They ensure that we can continue to serve the seniors in Middletown, Cobb and Hidden Valley Lake areas. They serve as welcoming greeters to assist at lunchtime with signing in and providing direction. Volunteer drivers make it possible to provide our Meals on Wheels program, which is a lifeline between seniors and the "outside world". Our drivers are on the job five days a week, checking on our 'shut-ins" and reporting any severe changes in their health. Servers are ever busy serving beverages and plates of food to the lunch guests. Volunteer librarians tend to the video lending library making it easy to check out from a large supply of videos for home use. Gardeners use their talents to ensure our garden boxes are well tended and supply fresh produce for our lunches. Our own mailman picks up the mail daily and delivers to office. We have a birthday caller who calls and wishes each one a happy birthday each month. Thrift store workers sort, label, display and organize many wonderful treasures in the thrift store. Volunteers sweep floors, work in the office, help with newsletter, set tables, wash windows and more. Board Members help direct and work tirelessly in support of the center. And of course, there are always our fund-raising opportunities for volunteering. We appreciate each one and encourage you to get involved and share your talents.
VOLUNTEERS’ CORNER
Tom Grossi drives for Meals on Wheels on Tuesdays. Volunteering to deliver meals allows our seniors to remain in their homes. Tom, thank you for your generous gift of time.
Chester Wheeler volunteers in the dining room on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He serves lunch to our seniors who are able to congregate. This provides our seniors with fellowship, communication, as well as healthy eating. Thank you, Chester, for your involvement in our community and for sharing your Granddaughter, Annalynn, with us during the holidays.
Linda Turner and Louise Martin have recently joined our volunteer staff as servers in the dining room. Their efforts make it possible for our seniors to sit back and enjoy their dining experience. It would be difficult for some of our seniors to stand in line while balancing a plate, cane, walker, silverware, cup of coffee, cold drink.
