Give to Get Back through Volunteering

You can make it possible for a neighbor to continue aging in their home of choice!

One Meals on Wheels (MOW) recipient told us, "Getting the meals is a "God Send" for me.  Very grateful. I get nutritious meals and a visit from the volunteer delivery person.  I do have mobility issues so shopping at stores is a challenge for me. "

Giving just an hour or two a month can have an incredible impact on an older adult's well-being. What are you waiting for?

Begin Your Volunteer Journey Today!

Shop at Hannaford in South Barre throughout January to Support CVCOA!

For the month of January 2023, Central Vermont Council on Aging will receive a $1 donation from each purchase of the $2.50 reusable Fight Hunger Bag at the Hannaford store located at: 456 S Barre Rd, South Barre, VT
