Seniors Helping Seniors volunteer to give and receive
Staying active is important to health and happiness for seniors but older adults say it's even better when they are helping others. Volunteering gives seniors a sense of belonging and increases activity, creating improvements in mental, physical and spiritual health. Among other benefits, volunteering can reduce stress, improve mood and lower the risk of developing high blood pressure. In short, for older adults, volunteering can make one feel better.
There are many opportunities for seniors to volunteer, engage and interact with other senior folks in the community. They can volunteer at local hospitals, help various nonprofit organizations, provide transportation for seniors who don't drive, deliver meals to shut-ins and the list goes on. To learn more about volunteering in the area go to www.volunteermatch.org/support/seniors or www.justserve.org.
