Would you like to make a difference in the lives of older people in our community ? Help them to age gracefully and joyfully while living on their own ?

You have come to the right place. Villages of San Mateo County is a volunteer run-non profit organization that helps older members age gracefully by connecting them socially, and providing services that enable them to stay in their own homes as long as possible.

We organize events where our members connect, we also have our volunteers make friendly visits or phone calls to seniors. We also provide services like rides to appointments, basic handyman services, help with grocery shopping, errands, pet care, gardening etc.

We provide the help that a neighbor or friend would provide.

To run a village -- it takes a village. We have several leadership and co-ordination opportunities too!

We are very flexible with volunteer hours, and what you do for us can change from week to week if you like or stay the same.

If you are interested in being a good neighbor/friend to senior in San Mateo County - please check us out.

About Villages of San Mateo County

P.O. Box 813, San Carlos, CA 94070, US

Mission Statement

Supporting our members with services, resources and community connections so they can enjoy vibrant, healthy and fulfilling lives in their own homes.

Description

Villages are vibrant grassroots communities of older adults who age actively in their own homes. Through a nonprofit, membership-based network, members make new connections, are exposed to different perspectives and give and receive mutual support. Villages are revolutionizing aging in our country. Their network of volunteers help people age interdependently by sponsoring social and educational activities, encouraging community engagement, and assisting members with services such as transportation, minor home repairs, technology, companionship and pet care. Fear of isolation is replaced with confidence that as older adults they can look forward to active lives filled with friendship, learning, and laughter.
