The Senior Companion Program serves Menominee, Delta and Schoolcraft Counties. Their efforts are aimed at helping others live fully independently.

Senior Companion Volunteers add richness to the lives of their clients, while providing access to the community, including grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments and opportunities for socialization. In addition to improving the lives of their clients, Senior Companions find their lives enriched through service to others. Senior Companions serve up to 40 hours each week or an average of four hours a day. The hours are flexible, but most companions are with their clients both morning and afternoons. Senior Companions receive a modest, tax-free stipend to partially offset the cost of volunteering. They are covered by accident and personal liability insurance while serving: receive an allowance for transportation and meals; receive an annual physical exam.
