Our Sincere Appreciation - Volunteer Traditions

The Shepherd’s Center of Charlotte thanks our outstanding volunteers and supporters. It is through this support that we’ve been able to do the following:

Our 357 volunteers drove seniors to their medical appointments more than 360 times; delivered hot meals daily to 45 seniors; helped seniors with odd jobs around the home; taught classes at Adventures in Learning and our computer lab; served on committees; presented seminars; assisted in our office; and served on our board of directors. ♦ The Adventures in Learning Program was able to enrich the lives of 492 senior students this year through 24 General Sessions and 47 classes. ♦ This year we have served 290 computer students in 53 classes with 8 volunteer computer instructors. ♦ 497 seniors traveled with us to interesting places such as the Reynolda House, Chinqua Penn, NC Arboretum, Sarah Duke Gardens, Flat Rock Playhouse, Newberry Opera House and NC wineries. ♦ Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) volunteers counseled more than 232 seniors in 2011 to help them through the Medicare Maze and Prescription Part D Drug Plan.

This voluntary support is needed and appreciated; however, we also need monetary support to keep these programs vital and thriving. If you have not already done so, please show your support today by giving a year-end donation to The Shepherd’s Center of Charlotte, 3115 Providence Rd., Charlotte, NC 28211. Thank you in advance for your support & generosity.
