Have You Spotted a Volunteer Today?

Did you notice the smiling face at the front desk of the Senior Center this week? What about the person who served you coffee at the café? Or the person calling bingo? Or even the instructor teaching your favorite art or history class?

What do all of these people have in common? They are volunteers who donate their time to Aster to help make our Senior Centers the vibrant, exciting places they are.

Aster Senior Centers are made possible thanks to the incredible efforts of hardworking volunteers. Did you know that just last year, over 375 volunteers contributed 20,000 hours of service across all of our programs and services?

You can volunteer at Aster Senior Centers in a way that speaks to your passions. Have a hobby or interest you’d like to share? Teach a class! Want to help make our daily lunches possible? Join us in the dining hall. 

Here are just a few ways to get involved this year:

• Answer phones and greet guests at the front desk
• Serve coffee and snacks at our café
• Serve lunch at our daily Congregate Meal
• Call bingo
• Teach a class on a topic you’re passionate about
• Help pack pet food for Aster’s Pet Program monthly distribution
• Label the monthly newsletter for mailing across the community
• And much more!
