Change Lives and Make a Difference by Volunteering as a Caregiver Support Volunteer

Minnesota is aging like never before, and the number of people stepping into caregiver roles to ensure the health and well-being of older adults is climbing, too. 

LSS Caregiver Support & Respite Volunteers visit older adults at their homes and in the community for a few hours each week, allowing family caregivers to take a well-deserved break to run errands, rest and recharge.
