Help someone with sight loss in Bridgewater
Description
Are you looking for a flexible opportunity to volunteer, while seeing the real-life impact you're making? CNIB has the position for you!
As a Vision Mates, you are paired with a person who is blind or partially sighted to help with sighted tasks in their home, deliver groceries, or call to chat. Our current volunteers find this both easy (it feels like spending time with a friend) and flexible (visits/calls are scheduled between the volunteer and their match at a mutually convenient time). Training is provided.
We’re currently looking to match Doris, 80s. She likes sewing, piano music, reading, and bowling. She's looking for help threading her sewing machine or to help with housework. She does not feel supported by her family or community, though she does have someone to get her groceries.
Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
