Diversity: We embrace people of all race, gender and sexuality

Since we believe that compassion at its finest should be free. Volunteers who register with our organization will offer their services based on their true desire to help elders. We will strive to safely and conveniently connect these dedicated, passionate volunteers with Seniors in their local communities.Our carefully selected and passion driven volunteers will help our Seniors with outdoor chores, like raking, window washing, gardening, and other activities they are unable to do themselves. They will also help them get socially active by engaging them in interesting conversations, take them on a visit to friends and families and so on.


We at VFS strongly believe our relationship-based volunteer services are ideal as they provide more benefit for both the senior and the volunteer. The relationship that is formed between people can provide the warmth and companionship that we all need to maintain a high quality of life. Our volunteers eagerly wait to make a long-lasting impact in the life of a senior in their community, it’s a win-win for everyone. Our Goal is to connect people to resources that promote aging with independence and Increase community awareness of aging issues and generate community-based solutions to these issues.

Virtual Volunteering With Seniors

Since elderly individuals, who may have pre-existing conditions, are at high risk during this public health crisis, special care must be taken to safeguard their health and well-being. The COVID-19 outbreak has disproportionately impacted people over age 60, communities of color, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. As a result, direct face-to-face outreach to these individuals and others has been drastically curtailed during the pandemic. But physical distancing doesn’t have to lead to social isolation. But being socially isolated from others poses its own mental and physical health hazards, such as depression, severe loneliness and even increased risk of stroke, dementia, or death. Volunteering for Seniors, Inc virtual volunteering offers exciting possibilities, for volunteers. As a remote volunteer, the benefits of your activities aren’t limited to those you help. Virtual volunteers play a meaningful role in helping seniors engage. Our volunteers work creatively to match their skills and interests. Virtual volunteer opportunities can be one-time or on an ongoing basis.
