Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol Program

The Toledo Police Department and the AOoA partner to train volunteers age 55+ to visit older adults who are lonely in their homes to provide them with socialization. There were 17 new volunteers who graduated the week-long training course and who now are visiting older Toledoans. This is the first new class of volunteers since 2019 and allows additional older Toledoans to be able to receive a visit in their home.

“Having these volunteers come visit my boyfriend and I gives us something to look forward to. This is our favorite part of the week. The volunteers are a reminder that someone cares enough to come visit us.”
