Interserv in St. Joseph has many volunteers that step up to help run its programs.
Executive Director Bridget Supple says Interserv relies heavily on its volunteers.
“For instance, the mobile meals volunteers deliver 225 meals several times a week to our seniors in the community, and we would not be able to do that without our volunteers, it would be an impossibility for us to deliver that many meals every week,” Supple tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr.
Volunteers also help with reading and doing activities with school children along with many tasks around InterServ.
Supple says one program is the gym at Interserv, where senior citizens can walk and play pickle ball.
But Supple says with the help of more volunteers they hope to expand some of those services.
“To offer maybe tai chi classes or something like that free of charge to our seniors who come for meals every day,” Supple says. “So, we use volunteers for a lot, even if you just want to rock a baby, we have babies that you can rock, we have a couple ladies that have done that over the years too, so if you’re interested in volunteering, we can find something for you to do.”
