Volunteers Needed To Visit Homebound Seniors In New Friendly Visitor Program

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. - Feb. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Family & Children’s Association serves nearly 9,000 seniors each year providing case management, financial counseling, health insurance counseling and other support services.  They will provide training and on-going support to volunteers enabling them to provide companionship and once-a-week visitation to a local, homebound senior.  Volunteers should be able to drive to various locations within Nassau County and commit to one hour per week of socialization with their senior.

According to Family & Children’s Association President/CEO Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D., “The Friendly Visitor program will add a much-needed socialization component to our cadre of services devoted to Long Island’s seniors. We assist many seniors’ goals of living independently in their homes and this program will support them in that effort.”   Those interested in volunteering should contact Family & Children’s Association by emailing: lstern@familyandchildrens.org or phoning:  516-292-1300 X2239.
