    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!
