Help Socially Isolated Seniors During the Pandemic and Beyond!

Catholic Charities’ Senior Companion Program (SCP) is looking for people 55 years and older who are interested in visiting with another senior who is homebound and living in Will, Grundy, Kankakee, or Iroquois County. This is strictly a friendly visit, no homecare duties are involved. Volunteers who meet income eligibility guidelines will receive a tax-free hourly stipend and a mileage reimbursement for time spent with clients.

Senior Companion volunteers provide assistance and friendship to older adults who have difficulty with daily living tasks. This program helps seniors stay independent longer and provides respite to family caregivers. Senior Companion volunteers report better health and longevity having served the community. Are you ready to forge new relationships and make a significant difference in the lives of others?   

Call Bryann Williams at 815-933-7791 ext. 9928 or email bwilliams@cc-doj.org.
