LSS Neighbor to Neighbor looking for volunteers
Lutheran Social Service of MN provides trusted companionship through their Neighbor to Neighbor and Senior Corps programs. Both programs assist older adults to live in their homes longer, safer, and healthier by providing phone visits and no-contact essential needs deliveries during the pandemic and in-person visits when we can return to them. Senior Companions are 55+ years old and Neighbor to Neighbor Volunteers are 18+ years old. Volunteers are matched with seniors in their community and provide weekly companionship. Volunteers are possibly eligible for a monthly or hourly stipend and mileage reimbursement. Contact Janel Heinen, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota, at (320) 241-5173 or janel.heinen@lssmn.org.
