NOW Serving Cleveland and Rutherford Counties Today's retirees recognize that an active retirement tends to be more rewarding than simply sitting around the house, and that attitude is reflected in the vast number of retirees who volunteer with various nonprof- it organizations and other programs across the globe. The following are a handful of volunteering opportuni- ties for those retirees who want to give back and make the most of their retirements. Hospice of Rutherford County The following is a list of current volunteer opportu- nities. Special Events Volunteer, Patient / Family Volunteer, Office Volunteer, Nursing Home Volunteer, Hospice Re- sale Shop, We Honor Veterans Program, Hospice House Vol- unteer, Grounds / Maintenance, Faith in Action Repre- sentative, Eleventh Hour Volunteer, Pet Therapy, Feet on the Street Please visit http://hospiceofrutherford.org to down- load our Volunteer Opportunities PDF for additional in- formation. To sign up for any volunteer opportunities, please call 828-245-0095. Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that builds and repairs homes for people in need. It has a program titled "Care-A-Vanners" in which volunteers typically spend two weeks traveling around the United States and Canada in rented RVs (retirees who own RVs may be able to drive their own vehicles) building and restoring homes. Volunteers must pay their own way and bring along their own supplies, such as work shoes, gloves, tool belts, and some tools (power tools are typically provided by the local Habitat for Humanity chapter), and free or low-cost RV parking is provided by Habitat for Humanity. Adventurous retirees who enjoy hitting the open road may find "Care-A-Vanners" match- es their love of travel with their desire to give back. Visit http://rutherfordhfh.org or call (828) 248-3178 for more volunteer opportu- nities. Work with children Many retirees, especial- ly those without grandchil- dren or who live far away from their grandchildren, find volunteering with chil- dren to be especially re- warding. The opportunities to work with kids are nu- merous, and retirees can choose a volunteering op- portunity where their own life experiences come in handy. For example, re- tirees who worked in the medical field might want to volunteer their time at a local children's hospi- tal, where they can assist families as they cope with a child's illness and spend time with the children them- selves, whether's it's tutor- ing sick children, reading them stories or helping them understand their ill- nesses. Retirees with consid- erable experience in the business world may want to work with a mentoring program that matches them up with career-minded youngsters. Service vacations Retirement is often seen as a time to travel and see the world, and many retirees have started to combine that love of travel with service opportunities. Globe Aware, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, develops short-term volunteer programs in international environ- ments. Each activity aims to promote cultural aware- ness and promote sustainability in needy communities. Volunteers work to address issues identified by the host communities as particularly pressing, interacting with the local residents in ways that are often impossi- ble on more traditional vacations. Meals on Wheels Retirees tend to have their mornings and afternoons free, making them ideal candidates to volunteer with programs such as Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit orga- nization devoted to delivering nutritious meals to those with limited mobility who are unable to prepare their own meals. The program delivers more than one million meals per day across the United States, and Canada has its own meal delivery programs as well. Many Meals on Wheels volunteers are retirees, who can decide their level of involvement upon volunteering.
