Eligibility
for Volunteering
To volunteer for the
Foster Grandparent or
Senior Companion programs, you must
be:
• 60 years old or older;
• willing to undergo a background test;
• in reasonably good health; and
• a caring person, with time and energy to spare.
Income qualified volunteers are eligible to receive a tax-free stipend
of up to $53 per week. This money is NOT taxable and does NOT affect
your eligibility for other entitlement programs, such as SSI, food
stamps, housing, Medicaid, etc.
Volunteers in the Bill Payer and
Volunteer Caregivers programs are
adults, aged 21 and older, who are willing to share their time and
friendship with homebound elders. These volunteers serve at times
mutually agreeable to themselves and their clients. All volunteers
must undergo a background check, receive training and be bonded.
Everyone with a caring heart and a few hours per month to share is
encouraged to participate.
