Blessed to Give: Programs and Services for Older Persons

Programs and Services for Older Persons provides direct and referral services to seniors and their families to help older people maximize their health and independence. PSOP offers a wellness program, which includes exercise classes, a chance to serve as a foster grandparent, and a senior companion program, among other things. Seniors themselves may volunteer at hospitals, libraries and hospices, among other places, through PSOP’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.

How to help

PSOP accepts monetary donations to help provide its counseling program, housing-service coordination program, advocacy work, among its other services. People may volunteer to help seniors learn computer skills.
