Befrienders Program
Commit just one hour a week for a year and build a lasting friendship with a senior! Many seniors face limited social interaction due to life transitions, physical limitations, or other circumstances. Befrienders pairs volunteers with seniors for weekly visits, whether it’s sharing a meal, playing games, taking a walk, or simply enjoying good conversation. These connections bring joy, companionship, and a meaningful impact to both the volunteer and the senior.
Lend a Hand Program
Looking for a flexible way to support older adults or disabled adults? Lend A Hand offers one-time (or sometimes recurring) opportunities to assist with specific tasks that help individuals remain independent in their homes. Volunteers can choose from a variety of needs, including:
Technology Help
Assist with smartphones, tablets, email, or remotes.
Household Tasks
Hang pictures, fix small issues, rearrange furniture, change light bulbs.
Seasonal Support
Shovel snow, rake leaves, or help with yardwork.
Community Support
Accompany someone to a local event—like the Bozeman Farmers Market—or help them navigate activities safely and comfortably.
Other Tasks
Run small errands, organize a room, help with recycling, or simply provide a steady hand for walking.
You pick the task and set it up at a time that works for you!
