Support Services for Older Adults (ages 60+) in Benicia/Vallejo

Carquinez Village is recruiting volunteers to provide supportive services to its members and to help with the work of the organization. The Village specializes in providing services such as transportation, simple handyman tasks, gardening, and tech help for its senior members in Benicia and Vallejo. Such services help seniors who want to remain living in their homes as they age but need some extra help. Often a friendly phone call makes a big difference to someone who is homebound. Opportunities to volunteer also include creating and providing social, educational, and cultural programs--all designed to enrich the lives of our members and volunteers. Our committees always need people who have just a few hours a month to devote to membership recruiting, communications, fundraising, virtual office, and other rewarding tasks.Transportation to Medical AppointmentsCheck-in CallsErrandsGrocery ShoppingHandy PersonHelp with Phone CallsLight HouseworkMeal PreparationMedical visit accompanimentPersonal Business HelpRespite for CaregiversTechnological AssistanceTransportation escort 1:1Transportation with wheelchairYard Work & GardeningWe also need help behind the scenes!Help with membership recruitment and servicesHelp recruit, organize, and appreciate volunteersHelp develop and put on educational and social events for our members - some are open to the publicHelp organize, set up, or provide refreshments for social, cultural, and educational eventsThe first step in joining Carquinez Village as a volunteer is to fill out our Volunteer Application on our website.
