Volunteers are essential to many of our programs. Over 400 volunteers provide the time and energy that is needed in order to serve local elders successfully. Nutrition Program volunteers help package hot, nutritious meals for frail elders. Volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers deliver these meals to frail elders living at home.
Friendly Visitors give companionship to homebound elders.
Ombudsman Program volunteers advocate for elderly nursing home residents to insure that they receive the care and services to which they are entitled. Money Managers help low-income elders to effectively budget and manage their money. Every year we hold an appreciation night to honor our 400 volunteers who contribute so much to the agency and the elders we serve. The 2001 Appreciation Night began with a dinner reception at St. Mary's Church in Foxborough. Special thanks goes to the Orpheum Foxborough, our wonderful host for the past two years.
