Mar 4, 2015 12:00 AM
The DuPage Senior Citizens Council (DSCC), the Meals on Wheels provider for DuPage County, is currently seeking volunteers that wish to make a positive difference in their community. Volunteers are especially needed in the Lombard area.
“Persons who deliver meals to frail and homebound senior citizens help lend dignity and independence to the lives of elderly residents,” said Cathy Jordan, DSCC Volunteer Services Director. She said that in addition to drivers, volunteer opportunities also exist for kitchen assistants to help prepare meals and socialize with seniors taking part in the Community Dining Program. Ms. Jordan said that experience is not needed, but compassion and a positive attitude are required. Training is provided. A background check is required.
Interested persons should contact Cathy Jordan, Volunteer Services Director at
630-620-0804 or visit www.dupageseniorcouncil.org for additional information.
The DuPage Senior Citizens Council (DSCC) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer-driven organization, dedicated to helping seniors live with safety and dignity. Since 1975, DSCC has provided a variety of programs and services for seniors, including Home-Delivered Meals (Meals on Wheels), Community Dining, Home Maintenance and Chore Days, Health and Wellness Education, and Well-Being Checks.
