Shalem Volunteer Opportunity
Love shopping? Love connecting with seniors? If the answer is yes, we have the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!!!
Shalem Society for Senior Citizens Care is looking for a reliable female to assist one of our residents on monthly shopping trips to Walmart/North Hill Mall. The volunteer must be available the second and/or fourth Tuesday of the month from 9:00-12:00.
The senior in need is loads of fun and she loves to shop. You will most definitely be blessed by this opportunity to connect with Shalem seniors! Please consider stepping up and volunteering for this role. This senior is unable to attend shopping trips without the help of a volunteer like you.
The ideal candidate will meet with our Volunteer Coordinator, complete a volunteer application and background check. A volunteer description and orientation will be provided.
