Tying the Community Together with Heartstrings
Clackamas CARES, a program of Volunteer Connection, focuses on supporting isolated older adults, persons with disabilities, and family caregivers in Clackamas County. Volunteer support for this program is vital for those individuals who wish to maintain the ability to live independently and stay connected to their communities. Clackamas CARES seeks to tighten those threads. Volunteers will provide meaningful support to seniors, caregivers and the differently-abled in Clackamas County in a variety of ways. These are just a few examples:
- Clackamas CARE Calls
Telephone or internet check in visits - System Navigators
Assist clients with navigating online support resources - Memory Café Visitor
Socialize and participate in activities with those with Alzheimer’s - Group Facilitators
Provide support for online classes or support groups
Clackamas CARES works with all Clackamas County Volunteer Connection programs. For more information or to get involved, please call 971-336-1771.
