Covington: Take a sweet senior to the grocery store once a week, help her stay independent!

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Volunteer Services

A sweet elderly neighbor in Covington needs help with going grocery shopping 1x per week. The volunteer would pick her up and drive her to the store, help her get her groceries, and bring her home. Something as simple as offering a ride can make a huge difference in the health and wellness of your neighbors!

Each neighbor has physical constraints that make driving or taking the bus unfeasible. Looking for safe drivers who understand the difficulties a client may face due to chronic illness and mobility limitations.

Volunteer Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, assists low-income elders and persons living with disabilities. Volunteers can provide assistance with light housecleaning, transportation, grocery shopping, home repair and yard care. With a little help from volunteers, clients can continue to live independently in their homes.

Due to the vulnerable population we serve, volunteers must complete an application, pass a background check and attend an orientation.
