— from Lena Kassa for Orcas Senior Center —
In these uncertain times of isolation and social distancing, we must be proactive if we are to remain connected to one another, our families, friends and community.
The Heart and Hands program at Orcas Senior Center is dedicated to this action, but we can’t do it without community volunteers. The need is great, the duration is short, and the impact is personal.
We are looking for people who can virtually volunteer from home using a phone and a computer, or just a smart phone. Virtual volunteers will be matched to Orcas Island seniors to call and ask if they would like someone to regularly check in on them.
This is a unique opportunity to help your community from the safety of your home while we all face uncertain times. Your contribution will make a difference in someone’s day.
For more information or to volunteer, contact Buddies@orcasseniors.org or select #buddiescheckin on orcas.recovers.org.
