Be a friend to a senior in need The Senior Companion Program offers support to homebound seniors and adults with disabilities in Clackamas County. This free service helps individuals live independently and safely for as long as possible by connecting trained volunteers with individuals who need assistance. Our volunteers help clients get to critical appointments, support them with household needs and encourage social activities. The program is always seeking volunteers, who may receive a small, non-taxable stipend, plus mileage reimbursement for their service. Volunteers must be: • 55 years of age or older • no longer in the regular workforce • capable of serving adults with unique needs • available at least five hours per week Learn more by calling 503-655-8640 visit www.clackamas.us/socialservices/senior WIC supports a healthy start The Women, Infants and Children program (WIC) has four locations and remote services for families to access healthy foods, nutrition education, lactation support, referrals and more.
