Spring farm cleanup
Spring is somehow better on the farm, and this is your opportunity to get outdoors and do some country style chores without buying the farm! Enjoy the horses, dogs and cats while you rake, shovel or otherwise spruce up our OUTTA THE BARN Programming site. Call 696-4792 for more information or to volunteer with RIDE Of Rochester.
Friendly visitors
The Elder Network Faith in Action Program is in need of friendly visitors. Families or individuals generally spend an hour a week visiting with a senior neighbor who has limited social contacts. These chats can be the highlight of a senior's week! Call 285-5272 for more information or to volunteer with Elder Network.
Radio readers for blind
Volunteers are needed to read local news items from the Post Bulletin and local area papers on the radio. This broadcast goes to people who are visually impaired and equipped with Talking Book Receivers. Call 284-8717 for more information or to volunteer with Rochester Radio Newspapers For The Visually Impaired.
