Catholic Charities Seeking Volunteers To Visit Homebound Seniors

From Catholic Charities:

JOLIET, IL — Catholic Charities’ Senior Companion Program is looking for people 55 years and older who are interested in visiting with another senior who is homebound and living in Will County. The possibilities are endless: have a cup of coffee, take a walk in the yard, go out to lunch, shop, or transport to an appointment. This is strictly a friendly visit, no home care duties are involved.

Volunteers who meet the income guidelines will receive a tax-free hourly stipend and a mileage reimbursement for time spent with clients.

Volunteering as a Senior Companion is a fantastic way to meet new people and give back to the community. You too can be a part of this wonderful program that has enriched the lives of so many for decades.

In Will County, call Jennifer at 815-724-1128. For more information about the programs and services provided by Catholic Charities, visit their website.
