Landscaping / Clean-up : The Somerset Volunteer Committee would ideally meet monthly (3rd Sunday of each month) do to some landscape / clean up work on either common areas, or areas where residents have agreed to have us come in and “help” them get their property back up to snuff!
The Board is also developing a new program called Connect and Care.
This program is intended to be multifaceted:
Inter-generational Buddies: Pairing teens with 65+ community members for 1-2 hours each month, teens visit their assigned buddy to help with yard work, take out trash, do small chores, aid with technology (phones and/or computers), or just sit and chat. Our older generation has so much to offer our younger generation in pure experience and knowledge. The goal is to develop a mutually beneficial relationship between generations within our community. In cases of emergency, snowstorms, power outages, etc. these relationships could be invaluable!
Sunshine Club (revitalization): We have heard of a group that used to exist in our community called the Sunshine Club. These are the folks that would reach out to community members who were sick, just had a baby, or maybe even a death in the family. They would send cards, organize dinner trains and provide support to families experiencing such life events. We would love to revitalize this club… if you have experience or interest in helping to bring this club back… please contact us!
Neighbors Helping Neighbors: In the spirit of our Neighbors Helping Neighbors community motto, we would love to put together a roster of neighbors who need help and individuals/families who are available to volunteer, and the tasks they are willing and able to perform. This might include relieving a primary caretaker for an hour so s/he can run an errand, driving an elderly neighbor to an appointment, picking up kids from school, or providing some yard work or minor household maintenance
Please go to our Website – www.Somerset98006.com – to sign up for any of our wonderful volunteer opportunities. WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO CONTRIBUTE. Let us know how you would like to help.
