Agency Spotlight -- Volunteer Caregivers
Again in 2009 Volunteer Caregivers will have the "Share Your Heart" for Valentines Day fundraiser. This was a rewarding program for all in 2008. You will be supporting seniors in your community by a donation of $10.00 or more, each $10 will purchase a flower to be delivered to a senior of your choice or one from our list.
The gesture lets a local senior know that you care about them and each purchase will have an entry for a drawing providing a getaway weekend for two.
Orders should be placed by February 6th and delivery will start no later than February 13 with all being completed by the 14th. The flowers this year will be carnations with baby's breath and either in a vase or a sleeve tied with a bow.
Volunteer Caregivers is a non-profit, church and community sponsored coalition of volunteers. Their purpose is to enable lower income frail elderly and/or disabled persons to remain in their homes and to maintain independence and dignity.
