Foster Grandparent/Senior Companion Programs

Foster Grandparent/Senior Companion Programs SENIORS: LOOKING FOR SOMETHING MEANINGFUL TO DO WITH YOUR TIME?

Through the Senior Companion Program, which includes the Pottawattamie County area, volunteers aged 55 and older give of their time to serve as a companion for a frail elderly person. Some activities that they may do with the clients include reading, visiting, playing games, or providing transportation so that the senior can run errands. For their service, if they meet income requirements, the Sen

ior Companion receives an hourly stipend, which is tax free and does not count as income toward any benefits that the volunteer is currently enjoying, providing that they serve a minimum of 15 hours per week. Through the Foster Grandparent Program (includes Pottawattamie, Mills, and Fremont Counties), which operates similarly, volunteers work at pre-schools, daycare centers, schools, and Head Start programs for a minimum of 15 hours per week, and they , too, if they meet income requirements, receive an hourly stipend.
