Incentive for the volunteer
Seniors/clients get things done that they can't do themselves. Having someone shovel snow or clean, for instance, can make the difference between living independently and having to move.
Giving back helps you develop a sense of purpose in our community.
Workers get the chance to help a senior. In addition, workers are paid by the client, at the suggested minimum rate of $30.00 per hour.
