When we are in Maine, my "Honey" volunteers at Freeport Comunity Services. She volunteers at the thrift shop, but across the hall is a woman who organizes the volunteers. Bowdoin College college in the next town, Brunswick, has a requirement of volunteering for graduation. Many local high school students volunteer- it looks great on your college application. When we needed the sofa moved to another room, we just called. Three High School Football players arrived after school several days later, and it was done in 5 minutes.
I'm sure if I asked, they would find someone to do my shopping. Does your town have a Department of Community Services? Call the town Hall and ask for help. Or call a local High School and ask the Home Economics teacher for help- she could find some students to shop for you. Call your local hospital, and ask to talk with social worker, and ask for help. Are you religious? Call your local church and ask for help!! Call Salvation Army!! Are you a veteran? Call your local VFW group! Or call the local Veteran's Administration. Call the local M.S. Society and ask for help Call your local police department, and Fire depatment, too, ask for help. My finger hurts- have to stop..... F
