What is the purpose of Make A Difference Delaware County?

Make A Difference Delaware County is about helping an older adult who needs help!  It’s not about helping people who are financially disadvantaged.  There is no income requirement to ask for help on Make A Difference Delaware County and our older adult residents shouldn’t feel any shame in asking for help. 

We ask that volunteers approach job assignment(s) with a nonjudgmental open mind.  Everyone’s life situations are different.  Volunteers may go to homes with very ill older adults who struggle to care for their home due to health/physical limitations, may be caring for an ill spouse, or may have recently been widowed.  These are just some of the situations and stories of the older adults who receive help from volunteers.  Nonetheless, they are ALL very grateful for the time volunteers give and many don’t know what they would do without the help.
