The Senior Center is looking for someone who enjoys writing hand-written letters. This volunteer opportunity is super flexible—you can write letters remotely and at any time of the day! The hand-written letters are for community members who would enjoy receiving a heartwarming letter during a time of need, such as when they are sick, grieving, or celebrating a birthday. If this sounds like a perfect fit, please visit our Citywide Volunteer Online Application to apply.
