Welcome Fathers & Sons of Northeast Ohio to our Volunteer Station roster!

Fathers & Sons of Northeast Ohio is a nonprofit organization designed to assist in helping low-income fathers reconnect with their children. Their vision is to equip fathers to be leaders in the home and in the community. They impact the lives of families by teaching dads new fathering skills, offering innovative vocational training and providing supportive services. Fathers & Sons of Northeast Ohio helps men remove the barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals as responsible fathers. Many of their graduates provide the courts, adult probation departments, child support enforcement agencies and children services agencies their certifications to verify that they are committed to becoming better fathers.

You can get involved as a Community Engagement Team Member, helping them with events and community outreach!

Look at all these letters just received by one of our Retired and Senior Volunteer Program Pen Pal Volunteers!

Dorothy is a pen pal with a client of The Society. She writes to her pen pal weekly and was so excited to have received so many letters this past month!

You can make a real difference in the life of another by simply writing to them and letting them know you are thinking of them.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in doing, contact us! You can reach RSVP Manager, Tessa Engelhart, at [email protected] or (330) 618-2955.

We are so excited to announce a new partnership with McGregor PACE! McGregor PACE's mission is to improve the quality of life for older adults in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Summit counties by allowing them to remain living in their community while receiving the extra support they need. They do this by resolving the shortage of affordable senior housing in Cleveland/Northeast Ohio and continuing to increase the number of PACE participants in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Summit County.

How can you get involved? You can volunteer! The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is partnered with McGregor PACE in Summit County and we are looking for volunteers to spend time with seniors and help combat isolation. The best part is you can do literally anything. Crafts, games, music, chatting, holidays… whatever brings you joy! Do you like to read? You can read a book with the clients. Do you like to crochet? You can teach them! Are you good at calling bingo or are you a whiz at puzzles? This is your chance!

You can learn more here: https://mcgregorpace.org/

As a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), we provide in-home health care and adult day programs as a nursing home alternative for seniors.
