No one needs a break more than family caregivers of older adults who cannot be left alone. Fairfax County needs volunteers who can commit six hours a month so a caregiver can go shopping, attend a doctor's appointment or just have coffee with a friend. Volunteers are matched with families in or near their own neighborhoods. Support and training is provided. Contact: Kristin Martin at 703-324-7577, TTY 703-449-1186 or kristin.martin@fairfaxcounty.gov.
