Surrey Services depends on the energy and commitment of hundreds of volunteers each year. Volunteers range in age from elementary school age to individuals in their ninth decade. Over two-thirds of Surrey volunteers are older people themselves; they are seniors helping other seniors.
  • Help deliver activities such as Surrey’s drama, antique club, chorus, needlework and crafts, field trips, exercise classes, and much more
  • Offer companionship and services, including daily phone calls and reading for the visually impaired
  • Perform minor home repair work and light gardening
  • Drive Surrey members to medical appointments, the grocery store, and do a variety of other errands
  • Shop for homebound members
  • Assist with a variety of clerical and data entry tasks at our locations
  • Put their professional expertise and experience to work on committees, including volunteer recruitment and community outreach
