If you are organized and enjoy meeting new people, this program is for you!
Taking care of monthly bill paying and maintaining a budget can be overwhelming for some people due to aging or physical limitations. A little support with managing finances is often one of the services individuals need in order to maintain their independence.
Springwell Money Management Volunteers are matched with isolated older adults or adults with disabilities who are still able to make responsible decisions about their financial affairs but may need some functional assistance with the bill-paying process, to achieve economic security and maintain peace of mind. Volunteers visit clients at home, or other convenient locations on a monthly basis and assist with monthly bill paying, paperwork organization, establishing a budget, keeping track of bank records, monitoring income and handling other issues associated with personal finance.
Springwell has more than 30 years of experience working with volunteers. One thing we know for sure is that kindness matters. Because of Springwell Volunteers: People are less lonely. People are less anxious. People can get to important medical appointments. People feel heard. People are able to enjoy a healthy meal in a friendly environment. People know someone cares.
Each volunteer is screened to determine their interests, trained and carefully matched with a community member in need of services. Program managers are always available to answer volunteers’ questions and handle any concerns that may arise.
