Volunteers Keep Hope Alive

People who are aging slowly become isolated. They might not be able to get out of the house on their own, or it exhausts them. They sit at the window, looking out as life walks by, waiting for someone to call or stop in. Many family members take turns visiting their aging loved ones, and some hire people to come in for care and companionship. Others have neighbors or church members who look in on them. We are social beings with a need to be near each other and share our stories. Click on this link to read about the joys of volunteering and bringing hope to someone who needs it.
