Our Mission
The mission of Patriot Pals is to provide volunteer support for homebound senior veterans to help achieve their goals of living safely at home and connecting with community. We thoughtfully match volunteers with homebound “Neighbors”. Volunteers choose the services they offer, such as:
- Friendly visiting
- Telephone reassurance
- Shopping assistance
- Running errands
- Pet care & dog walking
- Gardening & house plant care
- Sharing interests/hobbies
- Light meal preparation & housekeeping
- Safety education, and more!
