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.
