RESPITE CARE NEEDS YOU
TRIP TO BLUE WILLOW INN
Respite Care Atlanta now has over eighty current volunteers; however, many more are needed for this program to grow. Extra hands mean that RCA can add more days to the program schedule and therefore, can assist more participants and their caregivers. In fact, there is already a waiting list! RCA has volunteer opportunities based on your skill set and/or availability. Learn more at www.spdl.org/respitecare.
I’m a companion and team leader at Respite Care Atlanta and volunteering is the best part of my week. Try it – you’ll like it! Linda Allen
