Volunteer with the Area Agency on Aging!
Volunteer Opportunities are offered to Prince William area residents of all ages in a variety of programs and locations, including the Central Office, the Senior Day Program and the Senior Centers. Our current needs include:
Meals on Wheels Volunteers!
Volunteer drivers are always needed to deliver noontime meals to homebound older adults once a week on a weekly or biweekly (every other week) basis. The meals are picked up at either the Woodbridge Senior Center on Church Hill Drive or the Manassas Senior Center on Mosby Street. Delivery time is usually 1-2 hours. Meals are not delivered on weekends, holidays or during inclement weather. Training is provided.
Volunteers are needed to assist staff in implementing programs and activities including word games, group walks and crafts for frail and disabled adults. The Senior Day Program provides a therapeutic environment for adults who can no longer remain home alone during the day. The Senior Day Program is located in the Ferlazzo Building at 15941 Donald Curtis Drive in Woodbridge.
