A Call for Volunteers

August 14, 2019 by Matt Young Leave a Comment

A Call for Volunteers

Many organizations that focus on helping senior citizens live better lives are calling for more volunteers to come and help them. For example, the Meals on Wheels program which operates in many cities is finding that demand for their services is going up, and they just don’t have enough people helping out to meet that demand. Other organizations are finding the same issue. There are more seniors than ever before and they are living longer. Because of this, there’s a growing need for services that focus on seniors. Unless these organizations expand, many seniors may find that they don’t have the help they had been counting on.


The Baby Boomer population was the biggest growth increase that the U.S. had ever seen at the time, and these individuals are now entering, or are well into, their senior years. Many of them are now finding that they need help with the activities of daily living that once came so naturally. Traditionally, families and senior care professionals have handled these responsibilities, but a lot of groups are finding they need more help. 


Volunteers are an easy way to help bridge this gap. It’s one of the big ways that groups are trying to do more good.


One of the best ways that each one of us can help improve the senior care industry as a whole is to take leadership where we can. For most of us, that means helping a family member get connected with the help and attention that she needs. The impact might be small on a global basis, but when it comes to your immediate family, it will be a huge one. Finding a care service that feels the same way can also have a big impact. While you might not be able to do a lot outside of your family, working with a service that has a bigger reach can be a great way to ensure that the people that you love have more than enough resources to stay safe and happy in their homes.

Volunteers are one of the big ways that the gaps in care can be better managed for seniors.


And, if you want to do more, there is always a need for volunteers to help the elderly. It doesn’t matter where you live or how big or small your neighborhood is. This is a population that needs help, and the more compassionate and loving people that volunteer to spend time with them there are, the better. Whatever you can contribute will be appreciated. That might mean preparing a meal once a week, reading to a friend once in a while, or helping someone down the street with their household chores here and there. Every little bit helps. 


Finally, don’t forget that the care industry is expanding. A lot of caregivers will be needed in the coming months, and if this is something that you’re passionate about, then perhaps a career in senior care might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. This is a quickly growing field, and kind, loving people are needed. Professional training and some attentiveness to detail can help you turn that love for others into a way to help them and give back to your community as a career.
