As a volunteer for Minuteman Senior Services, you will experience the special satisfaction of knowing you are helping an elder live with independence and dignity. Minuteman volunteers are men and women of all ages, parents and children, students, newcomers, retirees and professionals who give their time to make a meaningful connection to seniors in their community. They deliver or serve lunchtime meals, help balance checkbooks, provide advice on health benefits, apply their organization skills and talents at our main office, help at the reception desk, visit seniors once a week, get groceries for or with seniors, drive to medical appointments and visit with and advocate for residents of long term care facilities.
