Volunteers sought to work with aging adults

The Community Services Committee of the Wisconsin Union Directorate is looking for volunteers to work with aging adults in a variety of programs.

Activities include Meals on Wheels, meal service and bingo, holiday caroling at nursing homes, grocery shopping, and many other types of service, says Cynthia Kao, WUD Aging Adult coordinator.

“A few hours here or there can help community organizations fill valuable needs of older people. Students can fulfill requirements for certain classes, and can get valuable out-of-the-classroom experience as well,” Kao says.

Community Services is one of 11 WUD student committees that develop, promote and coordinate more than 800 events, programs and activities each year on the UW–Madison campus.
