What is the Saratoga Senior Center?
Since 1955 the mission of the Saratoga Senior Center is to empower seniors to achieve and maintain personal independence and individual well-being by providing the program structure and support services necessary for healthy recreation, companionship, social involvement, and problem solving.
Opportunity Description
Not every superhero wears a cape or a unitard! A majority of them are everyday heroes who help senior citizens get to their medical appointments, pharmacies or even grocery shopping! Some of these heroes paint, do handy work, clean or bring their families to assist with yardwork! Other heroes use their super hearing to simply listen to seniors and give reassurance. While these small acts of kindness may seem like nothing to you, they could quite possibly change the day, week or month for a senior citizen with limited mobility or without transportation. Imagine the burden of having to see your doctor and not being able to get there!?
Your time will make an impact not only on individual lives but the senior community as a whole and that's a cause we all care about! We realize time is money and we don't want to take advantage of your generosity. Your time commitment is yours. We have people who volunteer 2 hours a month and others who volunteer 2 hours a day! Many of our volunteers do "one offs", stepping in to help a senior with a singular task!
There are obvious benefits to our seniors but did I mention the studies that show people who volunteer live happier, healthier lives!? We would love to have you and your super abilities here at the Saratoga Senior Center. Please contact us through the portal or contact Lawrence @ 518.584.1621 x209 M-F 8am-4pm!
