Join us in celebrating National Senior Corp Week

September 20-24, 2010 - To celebrate the extraordinary commitment and contribution of Senior Corps volunteers and their critical impact on addressing our nation’s most challenging issues, President Obama and the Corporation for Community and National Service have proclaimed September 20-24, 2010 as National Senior Corps week.

For more than four decades, the three Senior Corps programs  - Foster Grandparents, RSVP, and Senior Companions—have engaged age 55-plus volunteers in service to meet critical needs in communities across the nation.

Last year, nearly 500,000 Senior Corps volunteers provided 98 million hours of service, estimated to be worth more than $2 billion to our country.

Senior Services, Inc. is fortunate and proud to sponsor all three Senior Corps programs.  In Kalamazoo County, with nearly 850 volunteers providing approximately 178,500 hours of service annually, with an estimated value of service of $3,721,131, these programs play an integral role in promoting the well-being of older adults and their families, in addition to assisting community organizations achieve their mission.

Senior Corps Week recognizes that service by older Americans benefits everyone –volunteers, our communities, and our nation.  Service assists volunteers by keeping them active, healthy, and engaged.  Service assists our communities by utilizing skilled volunteers in addressing needs and filling gaps.  And service assists our nation by saving taxpayer dollars, reducing healthcare costs, and by strengthening our democracy.
