90 Senior Volunteers serviced 300+ children with individual tutoring and care.
Over 900 children felt the presence of these amazing volunteers.
Foster Grandparents commit to servicing children in childcare centers and elementary schools.
The service, part of the Corporation for National Community Service’s Senior Core joined forces with the Cleveland Foundation’s Encore program to extend the position to other seniors in the county interested in serving youth.
Foster Grandparents give 80,000 hours of their volunteer time every year!
Seniors who come to East End for weekly face to face interaction and socialization receive a variety of diverse social activities including but not limited to sewing classes, dancing, exercise, jewelry creation, and of course bingo! In a more structure manner, seniors receive one on one evaluation from the team of staff, assessing needs around food, personal care, and other urgent senior matters.
During special events EENH helped seniors receive summer vouchers for market shopping days, we helped an additional 45 seniors.
