Grand Island Rotary tried (and found successful) a lunch time meeting at Eggsquisite on Oct. 12. Angelina Anzalone of Hearts and Hands gave us background and unique features of their developing program to enlist volunteers to provide on-call (temporary) service to our older or physically challenged neighbors to keep them active, well, and in our community. Needs for help such as rides to doctors, shopping, home companionship, are coordinated with availability of volunteers by a professional staff to best serve both those needing help and those helping. Hearts and Hands is expanding onto Grand Island; lots more details are on their portion of Volunteer WNY Collaboration page:
Check back here in coming weeks, as we may decide to make one of our month's meetings regular for Wed. noon!
