Volunteering gives older adults a sense of purpose, social connection, and the chance to share a lifetime of skills.

Opportunities include mentoring, food banks, hospitals, libraries, and faith communities. Many organizations offer flexible schedules.

Pin Tip

Choose a cause you care about to keep volunteering enjoyable.

Talk With Your Doctor

This pin shares general information, not medical advice. Everyone ages differently, so bring questions to your doctor and review medications and health goals at least once a year.

Local Help in Ohio

Ohio’s Area Agencies on Aging connect older adults and caregivers with services such as meals, in home help, transportation, and benefits counseling. Call 911 for emergencies, including sudden face drooping, arm weakness, or speech trouble.

Quick Reminder

Keep an updated list of medications, doctors, and emergency contacts on your refrigerator for family and first responders.
