The New Year brings a chance for a fresh start, new opportunities, and an invitation for us to try something different. 

One way to bring new purpose into our lives and the lives of others is to take up volunteering! With Aster’s many programs and services benefiting older adults across the East Valley, there are exciting opportunities to get involved with whatever program you are most passionate about. 

Ways You Can Get Involved: 

• Senior Centers Staff the front desk or café; assist with administrative tasks, activities, or lunch; teach a class; share a hobby or talent. 
• Friendly Visits Provide companionship visits or telephone calls to isolated seniors.
• Essential Transportation Help your senior neighbors by providing rides to the doctor, grocery store, and pharmacy. 
• Meals on Wheels Spend a weekday morning delivering nutritious meals and smiles to seniors. All drivers receive a mileage reimbursement. 
• Group Opportunities Organize a donation drive; pack gift baskets; help with a Senior Center Party; or perform music. We’re always open to new ideas! 
• Pet Support Make a difference in the lives of both seniors and their furry friends each month by packing pet food at Aster's Senior Center, delivering it directly to seniors at a time that works best for you, or hosting a Pet Food Drive in your community. 

Aster has volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups.
