Dollar General volunteers know how to have fun and provide generous support to FiftyForward center and programs by donating items and assembling gift bags for special holidays including Valentine’s Day.
In celebration of National Volunteer Month, FiftyForward is a giving a special shout out to our dedicated volunteers. FiftyForward engages older adults in service to others and welcomes volunteers into our centers and programs to help us support, champion, and enhance life for those 50+. With so much wisdom and experience to share, older adults are wonderful volunteers and keeping our members connected to their community through service is one of the many ways we fulfill our mission. Despite the challenges of the past two years, FiftyForward affiliated older adult volunteers have continued to serve others. Foster Grandparent and Friends Learning in Pairs (FLIP) volunteers are making a significant impact in area schools and day cares, All of Us Peer Ambassadors continue to spread the word about the importance of including diverse audiences in medical research, and FiftyForward Fresh volunteers are staffing the kitchen and delivering nutritious meals and hope to homebound seniors. Our FiftyForward center-based member volunteers continue to be absolutely critical to our operation. Whether serving as Advisory Board members, greeting guests at the front desk or leading a class or activity, center members continue to amaze us with their dedication, enthusiasm, and skill. And finally, a word of thanks to our group, corporate, and individual volunteers who assist with governance and fundraising, assemble gift and food bags for members and clients, and serve as programming support in our Adult Day Services (ADS) program. In the past year, FiftyForward engaged and welcomed over 1200 volunteers who served thousands of hours in support of others and our programs. Thank you to everyone who shares their time and talent so generously!
