At Neighbors Who Care, our volunteers aren’t just drivers or errand runners. They’re companions, listeners, and lifelines for seniors who might otherwise face their days alone. These meaningful moments — a shared laugh, a reassuring word, a bond built over time — are what truly define the volunteer experience.
Volunteering builds friendships, strengthens communities, and brings purpose to everyone involved. Here’s what one of our volunteers had to say:
Volunteer Testimonial: Jennifer
“I started volunteering with Neighbors Who Care during the pandemic, and that’s how I met my amazing friend, Willie. I simply offered to check in on her now and then, not knowing how much she would enrich my life. Many seniors face challenges without nearby family or support systems, and it’s been an incredible journey to be there for each other.
Fast forward four years, and we celebrate holidays, share laughs over the silliest things, and lean on each other for support. She gives me sage advice, and I’m always there to give her that little push when she needs it.
Life gets busy, and it’s easy to overlook those around us. But I encourage you to take a moment—look around and see who might need a friendly smile, a listening ear, or even a ride. You never know how much richer your life can become through these connections.”
Jennifer’s story is a beautiful reminder that volunteering doesn’t just change lives—it builds friendships, creates community, and fills the heart. 💛
