When you spend time volunteering with seniors, you’ll benefit just as much as they do—and you can learn a lot too! The EAST COBBER staff has compiled some ideas for different ways to lend a hand, a listening ear or your skills to seniors—from reminiscing to making new memories. Remember, simply giving your time and conversation can sometimes mean the most.
