Check out what our volunteers are saying about volunteering with Aging Ahead!
Volunteering keeps us going. It’s much more than dropping off a meal. We connect and bond. We get to hear the stories of these people, and those are important. Meals On Wheels Volunteers – Carolyn and Dan
Volunteering saved me. I was struggling with depression, and this has helped me a great deal. Being there for people, putting a smile on their faces puts a smile on my face. I’m hopeful that we continue to grow together. Senior Center Volunteer– Angie
Don’t even think two seconds about doing it! It’s so worth it, and there are so many opportunities to help…plus Aging Ahead makes it fun! Y’s CHOICE Ambassador Volunteer-Jeanne
The advocacy is what I enjoy the most. Silver Haired Legislature Volunteer—Patricia
Thank you for getting us together in the Friendly Caller program I probably enjoy it more than she does. She is a gem! Thank you ever so much. I feel like we have known each other for years. Friendly Caller Volunteer—Margaret
I love volunteering on SMP, helping to prevent seniors from Medicare fraud and money scams. I am proud of the work SMP and Aging Ahead do to help seniors!” Senior Medicare Patrol Volunteer – Mary
This is a great way to spend your time and to spread love. You’ll be surprised by the love you receive back. It’s a supportive and loving and special environment. Senior Center Volunteer– Levon
I volunteer to teach my kids that we all need to help each other. Volunteering has helped me, and I help people. I think it’s important to instill those values in our youth. Meals On Wheels Volunteer– Marie
Delivering during the pandemic was trying. You get really close to these people, and it was hard to see them struggling with feeling lonely and isolated from their support and family. They need us, and we need them. We are their eyes and ears and check on their wellness. Meals on Wheels Volunteer—Mary
Volunteering at Aging Ahead you get to see firsthand how you are helping people. Meals on Wheels Volunteer-Denise
