Volunteer program for older adults, ages 55 and up, who are willing to use their life experiences and skills to answer the call for neighbors in need.

Volunteers provide in-person or virtual friendly visiting; transportation to the grocery store, medical appointments, and general errands; intermittent respite to full time caregivers; technology assistance; and assist with household tasks and seasonal yard work. Volunteers may also help in Fairfax county senior or adult day health centers. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program volunteers advocate for residents of long-term care facilities. The Virginia Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (VICAP) assists residents with Medicare issues. Fairfax Pets on Wheels volunteers along with their pet, visit residents of nursing facilities and adult day health care centers.

Volunteers are a vital help to JFS Richmond, and these roles offer valuable non-profit work experience.
