Volunteering
SNAP offers many volunteer opportunities, both through the Friendly Visiting Program and the Senior Center. Volunteers make a difference! With busy lives it’s sometimes hard to find the time to volunteer. But just an hour or two a week can benefit both you and the recipient. This act of kindness, no matter how small, is never forgotten.
Additionally, SNAP’s Transportation Escort Service provides a companion to travel with an older adult who has difficulty with independent travel. The escort will accompany a senior to medical appointments and other errands.
Donations of In-Kind Gifts
Not all gifts need to be monetary. SNAP can always use gifts of durable medical equipment, furniture, stationary items and consultant services to teach classes.
Shop on Amazon!
Now you can help SNAP receive donations while shopping on Amazon. AmazonSmile is a website operated by Amazon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and convenient shopping features as on Amazon.com. The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers.

Telephone Reassurance
If time does not permit for friendly visiting, but you would like to help, we offer our telephone reassurance program. As a volunteer you would call a few seniors each week to chat. A friendly phone call can be the reassuring voice to brighten a senior’s day.
Please consider volunteering. Senior citizens are our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, teachers, neighbors and friends. Please consider giving back to them a measure of what they have given us.
