Learn ways to volunteer Nov. 4
PATHWAYS
Pathways, a community service nonprofit, offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for LW residents who would like to provide a connection for a neighbor in need. An informational meeting for potential volunteers will be held Friday, Nov. 4, to review the program and different opportunities available.
People who want to volunteer, register or more information can call Tina Hernandez at 562-531-3031. Pathways does a comprehensive assessment of people’s skills beforehand to find a role that fits their abilities, personality and passion as a volunteer. It provides training as needed and requires volunteers to dedicate at least two hours of time per week. Since 1985, Pathways has been providing compassionate care and services to families living with illness and loss in the greater Long Beach area and parts of west Orange County.
In LW, Pathways volunteers are friendly visitors who play games, get a meal out, help with grocery trips and pick up prescriptions. The goal is to reach out to the most isolated, lonely people, sometimes with chronic conditions, and help them feel safe and independent in their own home.
