VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: VANTAGE HOSPICE<br />
Vantage Volunteers Needed! Looking to volunteer in a way that makes<br />
a difference in people’s lives? This is it! Our compassionate volunteer<br />
team takes an individualized approach to care. We help provide the best<br />
quality of life, for the end of life. This is accomplished through social<br />
interaction, companionship, active listening and activities. In addition,<br />
sometimes we aide and support the family by relieving the caregiver. If<br />
interested, contact Tracy Roth at troth@vantagehospice.com.<br />
FOSTER CHILDREN:<br />
PREPARATION FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.<br />
That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with<br />
necessities arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have<br />
to figure out how to organize themselves and make their money last<br />
a whole month. Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a<br />
program to help prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living<br />
(PAL). The year-long course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted<br />
by the National Council for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held<br />
at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by<br />
local businesses. Want to help with PAL or other NCJW programs that<br />
help change lives with hands-on community service? Contact info@<br />
ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.<br />

GIVE A SENIOR THE GIFT OF MOBILITY!<br />
KATY AREA RIDE SERVICE NEEDS YOUR<br />
HELP DRIVING OLDER ADULTS<br />
Katy Area Ride Service (KARS) is looking for your assistance in<br />
transporting seniors in need of personal (hair salon, bank, classes,<br />
volunteering, visiting a loved one, taking a pet to the vet) and<br />
occasional medical rides. Rides are provided in your personal vehicles<br />
to passengers who are age 65+ and ambulatory (not wheelchair bound,<br />
may use walking aids). Time commitment is flexible and you choose<br />
the Katy territory in which you want to drive. Volunteers do not provide<br />
rides that go east of Barker Cypress, north of Clay Road, west of FM 1463<br />
or south of Bellaire Blvd at the Grand Parkway. Benefits to Volunteer<br />
Drivers include the opportunity to help seniors retain independent<br />
living, dignity and freedom. Drivers tell us the day(s) and times they are<br />
able to drive. Drivers choose if they wait for the senior or return later<br />
to pick them up. Drivers must be between 21 years of age and 78 years<br />
of age with a good driving record, pass a background check and show<br />
proof of insurance coverage (state minimums) as required by the State<br />
of Texas. To request a volunteer driver application, call 832-773-8645 or<br />
email info@karskaty.org. KARS operates under an official 501(c)(3) that<br />
designates it as a transportation service provider for seniors and nonwheelchair<br />
bound persons with disabilities.<br />
