The Senior Companion Program (SCP) is actively looking for volunteers and our numbers are growing!
CKCAC is proud to sponsor the AmeriCorps Senior Companion Program. Our senior volunteers are assisting elderly residents in Marion, Washington, Nelson, Hardin, Grayson, and Breckenridge Counties with the goal of helping them to remain independent in their homes while offering companionship to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation.
This month we would like to shine a spotlight on one of our volunteers serving in Hardin County. Debbie has been with SCP since 2019. She has served many clients over the years and is presently a companion to four people in the Hardin County area. Last year Debbie served over 800 hours and has already served over 100 hours this year. We are proud to have her as a volunteer. We know that she brings much needed assistance and joy to those she serves.
If you would like to find out more about becoming a volunteer in your community, or if you would like to be a local sponsor for a volunteer like Debra, please contact Mary Jean Blake at (270) 402-7194 or email mary.blake@ckcac.org.
