Westside Friends Outreach Program
The Senior Center’s Westside Friends outreach program matches volunteers with seniors or people with disabilities for companionship, help with projects and assistance with tasks like grocery shopping and running errands. Many of our volunteers and seniors have created deep connections that are meaningful and fun.
To sign up to participate in the program or to volunteer, contact Michele Fawcett-Long at michelef@soundgenerations.org.
