As Arizona temperatures soar, our client list is also heating up. Many of our regular volunteers, who typically assist during the winter months, have departed the area and won’t return until October. Even those who reside here year-round often leave to seek relief from the heat or leave on family vacations.
However, for our clients who rely on our services for their basic needs, summer can be a difficult and lonely time. Our clients need the services we provide including assistance with medical appointments, grocery shopping, and most importantly, human connection.
We can’t do what we do without our volunteers!
While it may be tempting to take a break during the summer months, the reality is that many of our clients don’t take breaks and consistently need help.
Our aging seniors can be severely affected by the Arizona heat and isolation during the summer months is hard on them. Many of them spend a lot of their time indoors, where it’s cooler, but this can lead to loneliness and depression. Having a volunteer visit them can make a huge difference in their lives and provide some much-needed companionship.
