To help encourage volunteers and enlighten them about our wide-ranging services, Alliance on Aging will host a special volunteer event on Tuesday, Feb. 21, from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Prospective volunteers can sign up online at www.allianceonaging.org/volunteer, or simply show up to the event at the AOA office, 247 Main St., in Salinas. Your time and positive energy can help change the lives of so many in so many amazing ways. And it might just change your life as well.

For more than 50 years, the Alliance on Aging has been the place to turn to for older adult programs and services.

Volunteering has such a profound impact on others. It allows us to connect with the community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference in the lives of others. And studies show that volunteering can help improve our mental and physical health. Studies show that it can reduce stress and combat depression and provide a keen sense of purpose. Alliance on Aging offers wide-ranging volunteer opportunities that can help change the lives of seniors throughout Monterey County. Find out more at www.allianceonaging.org/volunteer.
