Description


Do you have a kind heart and a desire to connect with others? Become a Rapp at the Door volunteer with Rapp at Home and make a real difference in the lives of isolated seniors in Rappahannock County!

Here's How You'll Shine:

  • Conduct brief check-in visits (approximately 30 minutes or so) with isolated older adults in their homes.

  • Offer a small token of kindness provided by Rapp at Home to spark a connection and open a dialogue about well-being.

  • Fight social isolation by building genuine connections through friendly conversation.

  • Report any concerns about the senior's well-being to the Rapp at Home staff, ensuring they receive appropriate support.

  • Track your hours and miles driven (your contribution matters!)

More Than Just a Visit, You're a Lifeline!

By offering companionship and a listening ear, even in short visits, you can make a world of difference for an older adult struggling with loneliness.
