Volunteer Support:

A major part of our programs utilize volunteers on a daily basis to assist the participants and staff on offering contacts and programs to our community seniors. A current listing of volunteer needs are as follows;

1. Daily Reassurance Calls - Calling homebound participants 1-5 times each week.
   
2. Weekly In-Home Visits - Weekly visits of an hour each to provide our homebound participants a friendly face to go along with the friendly voice.
   
3. Desk Volunteers - Daily shifts available in 3 hour increments, 9:00 - 12:00 and 12:00 - 3:00 Monday through Friday, to greet the visitors and participants and answer the telephone.
   
4. Instructors for Programs - Provide educational instruction to class participants in crafts, computer use, dance, Spanish, ceramics, painting, and many other areas.
   
5. Transportation - Offering available transportation to senior participants for doctor visits, therapy, grocery store and local mall shopping trips.
   




Civic and Community Support:

Senior Citizens of Hendersonville receives 45% of its funding from Federal, State, County, and City funding along with funding from United Way of Sumner County. The balance of our budget comes from fund raising events and local civic, business, and community support. We have on-going programs with churches, the medical community and local civic clubs asking for an annual commitment for a period of 1, 3, 5, and 10 years. This long term giving allows us to project long range growth plans for expansion. We are also in the process of establishing an Endowment Program for Senior Citizens of Hendersonville at a local bank to allow individuals and businesses to make a one-time contribution of stock, estate annuities, or cash to the endowment program as a deductible contribution for tax purposes. This Endowment Program furnishes a long-term legacy of support to seniors

Membership Activity Fees:

Senior Citizens of Hendersonville has no annual dues. We have a fee of $1.00 per week for programs on the monthly calendar. The only separate charge at the present time is for line dancing, payable to the instructor. Donations are readily accepted.

If you are interested in volunteering, participating in the Endowment Program, or contributing scholarships please contact Senior Citizens of Hendersonville at (615) 822-8758.
