Caregiver volunteers of Central New Jersey
A MESSAGE FROM CAREGIVER VOLUNTEERS OF CENTRAL JERSEY (CVCJ)
We have missed each one of you so very much and look forward to being with you
again soon. While face-to-face services are temporarily suspended, our staff
continues to work remotely to contact all our senior clients and families to ensure
their safety, reduce social isolation, reduce food insecurity, and provide them with
resources through our community partners. We continue to respond to support
requests on a daily basis.
Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out our “contactless grocery shopping
services”, roundtrip medical transportation and an increased level of friendly and
reassuring phone calls. We have initiated “on-line training” for all volunteers who
can help us achieve our mission in this new environment to keep safe our
volunteers, our clients, and those with whom we come in contact. Our schedule of
on-line training is on our website. To register, please send a message to
info@caregivervolunteers.org and we will send you the meeting ID number
and password. You can also call us at 732-505-2273.
As we regain and add volunteers we will resume our traditional services (pet
therapy, respite and friendly visiting, Alzheimer and dementia care) and be able to
extend our services to additional seniors needing our assistance.
While the “shape” of our services may change, we assure you of our commitment
to honor and serve our senior community.
We ask God’s blessings on all of you and prayers to keep you safe!
