OAKS Hosts Volunteer Meet and Greet
Littleton Food Coop cafe to hold volunteer event
OAKS (Organized Acts of Kindness for Seniors) will be hosting a ‘Meet and Greet’ on June 2nd from 9 AM to 11 AM in the café of the Littleton Food Coop. The OAKS board invites everyone to stop by the café and get information about membership, volunteering and what OAKS future goals are for supporting seniors in our community.
OAKS (Organized Acts of Kindness) is newly formed and was created to address the challenges faced by seniors in our community who want to maintain their independence but at times need a little extra help that family and friends can’t provide. OAKS is a membership driven organization, following the principles of the Village to Village Network, a nationwide organization with 300 villages throughout the United States. The principle of the village movement is to partner seniors in need of help to stay independent, with the assistance of trusted service providers and quality volunteers. OAKS is working to develop a one stop/one call place to meet those needs and help members remain independent and active in our community. As the organization develops, members will have access to a range of volunteer services, a list of vetted service providers, and the opportunity to participate in social events.
Growth of OAKS
The OAKS board is excited to update everyone on the progress and future plans, so they welcome you drop by the Littleton Coop Café for some coffee and snacks on Saturday morning. Several board members and volunteers will be available to answer your questions and explain how you can help seniors in your community. Volunteers will be interested to hear that there are no time requirements or set schedules.
