Volunteer Opportunities
Community Action depends on volunteers from the community to help provide direct services and to mobilize resources for services.

Volunteers are particularly needed in our food and nutrition programs to help feed the elderly and children. Our foodbank depends greatly on community volunteers to make wholesome recovered food available to residents throughout nine counties in southeast Ohio. Volunteers are also needed to assist with fundraising for our food programs.

COAD, The Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Ohio Development, needs YOUR help with a special program for our children—

The Foster Grandparent program is helping children in 12 counties in Southeast Ohio.

In Head Start centers, pre-schools and elementary schools all over our area, low-income seniors are getting out of the house and helping children!

The seniors work with 3 to 5 children in a classroom, under the

teacher’s guidance. The “grandma” or “grandpa” helps with learning life skills, colors, numbers and reading.

It’s a special opportunity, and low-income seniors who are 60 and over

receive a small, non-taxable stipend, help with mileage, and a free lunch.

They also enjoy the company of the other foster grandparents, when they meet monthly to share ideas.

Seniors can make a difference in a child’s life AND in their own lives—

For more information call the Foster Grandparent program at COAD in Athens, 740-594-8499.
