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.
