Volunteers Needed - Friendly Visitors

4 More Volunteers Needed for a Study
January 1 - June 30 2020

LCCC is seeking volunteers to test a Volulnteer Caregiver Toolkit and provide feedback.

  • Visiting with the senior
  • Playing games
  • Discussing current events
  • Other activities of interest for the senior
  • Just being present with the senior while the caregiver runs errands

Stories of New Tomorrows...

Your donations change lives!

A little over three years ago, I was struggling with depression and alcoholism, when I came to Catholic Charities. Although I was going to AA meetings, I needed to address the depression also. Having the opportunity to attend substance abuse counseling and engagement groups has helped me tremendously.

Having had the opportunity to attend the different groups, I came to the realization that I need to stay connected in the AA community and continue with one-on-one counseling at Catholic Charities. Again, thank you for supporting me and getting the help I need.
