How we touch
people's lives
Need always appears to be so overwhelming. Yet in our experience, it begins to cower in the face of a simple smile. It flinches when a hand takes an elbow. Fact is, PeopleCare people, our clients, live with need every day and our volunteers face it down armed with little more than car keys or a telephone or a hot meal.
We touch people's lives. We're always amazed at how much they return the favor.
PeopleCare
Using primarily volunteers PeopleCare will assist and support the homebound elderly by providing socialization, emotional support and access to service providers where no one is denied services.
In 1990, PeopleCare began providing a volunteer friendly visitation program to the homebound, which often served as a respite for a primary caregiver. Today, PeopleCare is still reaching out to the elderly, specifically targeting communities without programs to benefit those whose age or physical condition limits their mobility. PeopleCare serves more than 1,700 clients annually.
PeopleCare. We're here every day to show just how much.
You'll be amazed what can
start with one call
What can one hour mean? To a PeopleCare client it can mean a doctor's appointment on time, a filled prescription, or three hotels on boardwalk. To a PeopleCare volunteer it's seeing the amazing difference their time can make. Every hour is precious. At PeopleCare we think that's the most important lesson of all.
