Help someone with sight loss in Lawrencetown
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 Sallie, 80s, who enjoys chatting about travel and horses and spent 32 years running a therapeutic riding center. She would like help with reading, organizing, running errands, and going for leisurely walks in the Spring. She would really appreciate someone who would be willing to drive her, if possible.
Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
