We have heard recently how important it is to offer help to the elderly who are unable to do things for themselves and to put others ahead of ourselves. The mission of the Shepherd’s Center is to give senior citizens free transportation to medical and therapy appointments, the pharmacy and grocery store. The Center also needs volunteers willing to visit them in their homes and to make phone calls from time to time to let lonely seniors know they have not been forgotten. In many cases, our volunteers are the only contacts some seniors have with anyone.
Please be willing to become a volunteer to help seniors get to and from their medical and therapy appointments. No long term commitment is required and you accept to take someone only when your schedule permits. The need is great and growing every day and we need your help.
To find out more about the Shepherd’s Center and how you can volunteer to provide transportation and other services, please call the Center number at (703) 506-2199 or email info@scmafc.org. The Center’s website is www.scmafc.org.
