Help someone with sight loss in Westville
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 Gerald, 70s. He would like a visitor to go for walks in the late morning or early afternoon. He is good humoured, easy-going, and a straight shooter. He enjoys discussing politics and making jokes. He doesn’t drink, smoke or swear and his hearding can be a challenge some times. He is a retired optician.
Interested in volunteering for this position? Email jeff.deviller@cnib.ca and he'd be happy to answer any of your questions!
