Volunteers Are Needed!Volunteer caregivers are needed in Trempealeau county to provide 'neighborly companionship’ and practical assistance to people in their own communities -- a simple concept, which is taking hold across the state and across the country. Many older adults and/or disabled individuals who want to remain independent and at home are not able to do so simply because they cannot manage basic day to day tasks. Things like driving, grocery shopping, errands, and household chores are beyond the scope of their physical capabilities. Loneliness is a common problem. Because Western Wisconsin is largely rural and because families have a tendency to move away, many elderly and/or disabled individuals are isolated. Add to that the fact that many older and/or disabled individuals are unable to drive, and the problem is magnified. We will work with your schedule to set up flexible visits.
We are always looking to add RSVP Caregivers to various locations throughout Trempealeau County. The RSVP Volunteer Caregiver Project requires a minimal time commitment (volunteers choose when and where they want to serve). Visits vary in length and may be 1-2 visits a month or 1-2 visits a week at a care receivers home. Please click on the 'Home' tab at the top left of the page to read who is currently in need of volunteer caregiver services and where they are located in Trempealeau County! Call to get started today! |
