Senior Meals and Services, Inc.

There are a number of ways you can help:

1. Our biggest need is people.  We are a volunteer-based organization with over 500 volunteers bringing meals to homebound, frail seniors everyday.  We need people with smiles to give about one hour per week to help deliver meals at lunchtime.
   
   
2. Many seniors have no social or family support.  We have started a program called Friendly Visitor, where caring volunteers spend one hour a week with a senior.  It's a kind of adopt a grand- parent program.  We match you with a homebound senior in your area, and you visit them with your children, or your pets, or just a quiet visit alone. This can be done in the evenings, weekends, or any time that is mutually convienent.
   
   
3. We need funds to help with our many programs.  You can specify one of our programs, or just make a general donation.
   
   
4. We need items for GOODY BAGS for the holidays.  Coffee, tea, candy, plants, socks, stationary, cards, cosmetics and toiletries are some of the items that are useful.
   
   
5. Many companies are starting programs that encourage their employees to get involved in the community.  Some of these firms offer their employees some kind of time off on company time to encourage them to help out local charities.  If you have a company, or work for a company that might be interested in this, please call us and we can help tailor a program to suit your specific needs and goals.
