Project Description
Want to help our older community members in need? Faith in Action, within the Broome County Council of Churches, is currently seeking volunteers to help aging individuals within the Broome County community.

Spend time with one of our participants, aged 60 plus, in their home. Develop a relationship over weekly visits with activities that may include cards, movies, games, crafts and conversation. Friendly visits are one to two hours, once a week. Our volunteers and participants often develop life-long friendships through this program. If interested, feel free to contact us for more information!
