The Surprising Benefits of Volunteering
After retirement, some older adults find themselves looking for meaningful ways to stay busy. One way to stay engaged is to volunteer. Volunteering provides essential support to important causes and those in need, but it can also offer surprising personal benefits.
Finding the right volunteer opportunity can help you make new friends, engage with the community, stay physically active, and acquire new skills. Helping others can also enhance your mental well-being. It can lower stress levels, fight depression, keep your mind active, and give you a sense of purpose.
Aging & Adult Services is always seeking volunteers! Currently, the biggest need is for Meals on Wheels volunteers, who spend an hour or two a week delivering meals to homebound seniors.This opportunity offers great benefits to volunteers:
1. Reduced Stress! Getting outside in the middle of the day resets your brain and gets you ready to take on the afternoon.
2. Steps! Whether you're walking from your car to the door or through an apartment building to deliver meals, movement is a key part of volunteering.
3. Connections! Taking a moment to connect to someone else is good for your heart health and emotional wellbeing.
