Jewish Family Service is
looking for individuals inter-
ested in volunteering their time
in several ways. iPad volunteers
will be matched with a JFS cli-
ent once a week for one hour
for 8-10 weeks. The volunteer
will teach basic iPad skills and
increase older adults’ techno-
logical knowledge for them
to better communicate with
family and friends to decrease
feelings of isolation.
Next, Friendly Visiting
Volunteers are matched with a
homebound older adult client
of JFS who is seeking compan-
ionship and support. Visits can
be done in the home or vol-
unteers can choose to take the
client out for lunch, grocery
shopping or other activities.
This is a once-a-week com-
mitment for one hour (or two
to four hours for volunteers
taking clients out in the com-
munity).
Lastly, JFS, in partner-
ship with Jewish Hospice and
Chaplaincy Network, is seeking
volunteers to provide comfort
and companionship to chron-
ically and terminally ill indi-
viduals and their families. No

training will be provided
prior to matching. If you are
