Volunteers sought for lonely seniors in Stanislaus County

Stanislaus County's Area Agency on Aging needs more volunteers for its friendly visitors program, in which volunteers who are 18 and older visit seniors at least twice a month.

These are social visits, in which the volunteer and the senior can take a walk, go for coffee, play board games or whatever activity the two like.

The Area Agency on Aging says it has a waiting list of seniors who want someone to visit with them. Mileage reimbursement is available.
