Searching for a way to make a difference?

LEWISTON-AUBURN — Those of us at Catholic Charities SEARCH (Seek Elderly Alone, Renew, Courage & Hope) believe that our seniors should receive support and care with dignity and respect, especially when they are isolated and lonely.

Since Maine has one of the nation’s largest senior populations, we have a huge challenge in front of us. In fact, without the love and support from family, friends and caring people like you we couldn’t provide the support needed for our elderly. With your assistance in volunteering, we can all make a difference in the life of a senior.

You can make a difference by investing a few hours a week to an isolated senior through a friendly visit, a ride to the grocery store or a phone call.

If you are interested in becoming a _volunteer_ in your community, we have seniors waiting for volunteer support in Auburn, Lewiston, Lisbon, Minot, Poland, Sabattus and Turner.
