## Share Your Gift of Time

Volunteering at Shelby Senior Services is more than a good deed — it’s a meaningful way to build relationships, give back to the community and grow personally.

Whether you are looking to make a difference, gain valuable experience or simply share your time and talents, our four horizon centers offer a welcoming space where your presence can brighten someone’s day.

So much of the assistance we provide to the older generation in Shelby County could not be accomplished without the help of volunteers. We would love for you to apply to help our senior community.

 What to Know

#### Volunteer Opportunities

### General Needs

Make check-in calls  
Support family caregivers  
Cook a meal, clean a kitchen  
Rake leaves, shovel snow  
Get groceries for shut-ins

Sharing any special talents

### Friendly Visitor

A friendly visit or a phone call makes the day of our seniors who are often lonely or homebound. Our volunteers play cards, listen to or play their favorite music or do manicures for seniors wanting their fingernails painted.

### AARP Tax-Aide Program

### Musical Performance

There is a piano at the Senior Center just waiting for your graceful hand! Music always puts a smile on our faces. If you have a musical gift, we would love to have you share your talent with us. Also, if you have your own instrument or love to sing, please contact us.
