A lot of charities focus on a large need. Food banks that collect millions of pounds of food for the hungry. Fundraisers to pay for medical research or treatments. But sometimes, you find a nifty group that has found a unique way to tackle a seemingly smaller need.
That’s one of the many reasons we love Project Linkage. The group run through Metropolitan Family Services offers a lot of services that may seem minor to the rest of us:
Scheduling regular visits between a volunteer and someone who is stuck in the home for the most part.
Driving people to the grocery store, the vet or the dry cleaners.
Heck, even CALLING once a day to make sure they haven’t fallen or need help.
The list goes on (sadly, Project Linkage does NOT offer a compass, toothpick or tweezers).
While the group does many wonderful things every day, they need YOUR help to do more. Go here to learn more about how to volunteer.
