The Home Instead Senior Care Office serving seniors in Rutherford, Moore, Franklin, Coffee, Lincoln and Bedford counties announced the Salute to Senior Service program to honor volunteers for the tireless contributions they make to their local communities.
The program will include a search for the most outstanding senior volunteer in each state and culminate with the selection of a national Salute to Senior Service winner during Older Americans Month in May.
Nominees must be 65 years of age or older and volunteer at least 15 hours a month. Nominations will be accepted at SalutetoSeniorService.com through March 15. Nomination forms also can be requested at ckoehler@homeinsteadinc.com.
State Senior Hero winners will receive plaques, and their stories will be posted on the SalutetoSeniorService.com website. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s nonprofit charity of choice.
According to research conducted by the Home Instead Senior Care network, 52 percent of seniors volunteer their time through unpaid community service. |
