SEARCH: Seek Elderly Alone, Renew Courage & Hope

For seniors, especially those on a limited income, being able to live at home can be both a blessing and a curse.

SEARCH connects isolated seniors with community volunteers in Androscoggin, Kennebec, Sagadahoc, Somerset, and in parts of Franklin, Lincoln & Oxford Counties, along with Brunswick & Harpswell in Cumberland County. Our volunteers bring skills, enthusiasm, and companionship to their lives, while assisting with a variety of support services:

• Friendly visitation and companionship
• Telephone reassurance
• Helping them with appointments/errands and grocery shopping
• Assistance with some in home tasks/projects
• Doing socialization activities together
• Help with correspondence/forms
• Help with yard work
• Referral to other services & programs when needed

RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program)

People who are 55 and over can join our RSVP (Retired & Senior Volunteer Program) in Kennebec and Somerset Counties. This project supports seniors by providing companionship/social activities, transportation assistance and referrals to other services in the community as needed.
