Friendly Visitors Needed:
The Marlborough Council on Aging and Senior Center is looking for volunteers who are interested in doing some friendly visiting with senior residents of Marlborough who are in need of human companionship; some who are homebound. The volunteer would need to be dependable and reliable during scheduled visits decided upon by the elder and the volunteer. This is the perfect opportunity to make a significant impact in someone’s life, for an hour or two a week. If interested please call me (Susan) at (508) 485-6492. You will be sent a volunteer application (please check Friendly Visitor and/or others if interested), and we will set up a time to meet after I receive your application.
