Jericho Road Pasadena is great at matching volunteers with community needs. Although we usually connect skilled volunteers with a nonprofit’s operational needs, we are now putting our match-making skills to good use by supporting seniors, one of the groups most affected by Covid-19 and current stay-at-home guidelines.
Here are ways our volunteers can help:
- Make calls to seniors: We are working with several senior-serving organizations to make a list of people to call. The call would go through an app so that the Pasadena Senior Center shows up as the caller ID; this also means you could call from anywhere in the US. We will provide a script and FAQs to volunteers.
- Deliver supplies to seniors: We will probably get a list of one-time or on-going deliveries to make and set up a schedule for volunteers more details to follow.
- Provide tech support. Although many services are available online, some seniors are struggling to set up video calls, food delivery, and online classes.
If you are able to help with any of these services, please email Melanie at ExecDirector@JRPasadena.org with your available time and which need you’re able to help with.
