NORTHEAST SENIOR ASSISTANCE
A Community Outreach for Older People
“Helping those who have become invisible to society.”
YOU can Make a Difference!
The elderly have given so much of themselves throughout their lives, won’t you help them in their time of need? We need you to lend a hand with the things seniors can no longer do so that they can continue to live in their own homes instead of relocating to an institution.
NESA volunteers gain personal satisfaction in helping others. One of our volunteers calls it “food for my soul.”
Think of it as helping your mother or your neighbor.
WE NEED YOU!!!!
Our capacity to help is limited to how many volunteers we have.
The Process
- Call or email us! We’ll send you a volunteer application, or you can download one above. Then, schedule an appointment to come in for an interview.
- Establish your own limits of time and areas where you want to serve.
- We conduct a criminal background check on each new volunteer, and a DPS driving record review on those who want to be drivers.
- Once approved, you’ll get a badge to wear on assignments.
- Currently, a mileage stipend is offered, so you’ll get reimbursed for your round trip driving or shopping.
"I consider volunteering as Food for my Soul."
"It just makes you feel better knowing you're able to help others."
