Enjoy your summer at LFV Events!

Please let us know as soon as possible when you need services, so we have time to make a volunteer match! While we'll always try to make the member/volunteer match, less than 72 hours notice is very hard to fill. A week's notice is just right!
|
Remember that we can assist with more than just a ride. We can also help with household tasks, visits - in person or on the phone, transitioning back home after a hospital or rehab stay, handyperson assistance, errands, getting organized, helping to find answers to a variety of questions you may have, technical assistance and a whole lot more. Just call or
email
the LFV office.

NOTES:
M&V = for LFV Members and Volunteers.
ALL = Open to the Public
|
To our wonderful volunteers for making LFV a community of Neighbors Helping Neighbors!
Our volunteers assisted with transportation, friendly phone calls,
in-person visits, tech/handyperson assistance,
birthday calls, administrative and planning assistance,
Library speaker events, and outings.
Thank you for your
participation on Committees,

A special thank you to all those who helped with LFV's Bingo Event, especially the Bingo Planning Committee who devoted many hours to making our event a huge success!
