Volunteers Needed For I-You Venture's Friendly Visitor Program

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — The Family Service Agency of the Central Coast is in need of volunteers to participate in its Friendly Visitor Program. The outreach efforts help hundreds of seniors in Santa Cruz County care facilities who do not have friends or family to visit them.

"I-You Venture helps connect seniors and residents to the community, as many of the men and women in these facilities are often alone and forgotten. Our Friendly Visitor Program and volunteers help residents overcome this isolation."

Organizers said I-You Venture volunteers are involved in a broad range of activities including one-to-one visits or assisting with group visits such as music, movement, games or reading.
The I-You Venture is a nonprofit organization that serves residents of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in Santa Cruz County.
