Got an email from Kerrie Carbary, volunteer coordinator for Volunteer Chore Services in SeaTac, and they’re looking for some help:
Desperately Seeking Organizing Superhero
A disabled woman has recently moved, first from a house to a 3-bedroom apartment, then to a studio apartment!
However, as her space decreased in size, her stuff hasn’t, and as a result she’s having trouble organizing her belongings to fit her new home. Her apartment is very clean, just cluttered.
She has a great sense of humor and is fun to visit with, and needs a volunteer who is patient, gentle and “not bossy.”
The idea of organizing alone adds to her anxiety, which in turn makes her other symptoms worse! Are you a gentle, understanding individual who likes to organize?
An hour a week would make a real difference in her life.
How to Apply:
We have many needy seniors and adults with disabilities on our waiting list who are waiting for help in Seattle and King County. If you can spend an hour or two a week, or a couple of times a month, please contact us to become a volunteer.
Volunteer Chore Services, a program of Catholic Community Services, is committed to helping low-income elders and adults disabilities remain living independently in their own homes through a network of caring community members, individuals like yourself.
Due to the vulnerable nature of our clients, volunteers must complete a registration packet, provide three personal references, pass a background check, and attend an orientation.
If you drive while volunteering, we will reimburse you for your mileage.
