Help Combat Social Isolation! Give a Ride to an Older Adult!

Get Connected Icon Get Connected Icon ongoing

Description

We need your help on weekday mornings! Federal Hill House is committed to serving our community of older adults. We offer morning programs like our knitting circle, chair yoga, meditation, health screenings with medical professionals, and other engaging and informative activities. Following these activities, we offer a hot lunch Monday-Wednesday. While many of our seniors would benefit from these services, most do not drive, and public transportation is not always a great option.

Do you have a few hours per week to spare? Do you have a license and your own reliable vehicle?

Our folks would need to be picked up at their homes around 10am and brought to our community room located off of Atwells Avenue in Providence. After lunch, our seniors would need to be picked up around 12:30pm, and brought back home.

If you are over 55, and would like to help, you are eligible to enroll in our AmeriCorps Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). You will become a member of a like-minded network of individuals who seek to improve their communities. AmeriCorps RSVP also provides additional benefits to its members including supplemental insurance, awards for service, and others. We love to celebrate our volunteers because we appreciate the work you do!

Contact Michele Matott mmatott@federalhillhouse.org for more information on this and other opportunities! 

 

*Federal Hill House requires all staff, volunteers, and participants in programs to provide proof of COVID vaccination.
