Volunteer Opportunities

• Adopt A Senior Program: This is a winter holiday program that matches donors with Bayside clients to ensure that these seniors enjoy a happy holiday. Seniors provide a "wishlist" of needed items which donors may choose to purchase. Donors will then have the opportunity to anonymously donate the items or choose to bring the items to the senior directly and enjoy a cup of holiday cheer together. This is a wonderful chance to not only spend time with Bayside seniors, but also help them in attaining some of their needs for the holidays while lifting their spirits! This is a great opportunity for groups or corporate giving. This program will being again in October 2012.
• Friendly Visiting Match Screened volunteers are matched with an isolated or homebound senior and provide regular visits to their home. Volunteers engage in conversation and activities. Matches made are based on mutual interests and availability. Two visits per month are required. We are also in need of volunteers to accompany our caseworkers to the homes of participants in our Senior STEPS program to take blood pressure. (Tues-Thurs from 8am-3pm).

• Senior Health Aide Nurses or nursing students take senior blood pressure on Tuesdays and Thursdays (11am-12pm) after our Feeling Fit class and accompany caseworkers on home visits to check on health issues hours neededTues-Thurs 11am-3pm).
