 Description


As part of our services among isolated, elderly, in-need homeowners, we deploy volunteers to visit one of our 
vulnerable homeowners regularly, and to offer him or her a listening ear.  Through conversation and compassion, 
Homeowner Care volunteers give attention and companionship and receive the friendship of someone precious in 
God?s sight.  Volunteers in this area frequently "pair up" to care for one homeowner together.


 Requirements 


Volunteers should possess a Christian commitment and a desire to serve God.  Our best volunteers exhibit a 
desire to care for vulnerable aging people and a sincere respect for people of different backgrounds, races, 
faiths and cultural groups.  They also need to provide their own transportation to and from the homeowners' home.  
They must be 21 years or older, and must provide two references and complete applicable record checks.
