SEARCH (Seek Elderly Alone, Renew Courage & Hope), a program of Catholic Charities, is looking for families, singles, retirees, college and high school students to volunteer a few hours a week to help seniors who need a helping hand. The program seeks volunteers to help provide companionship, transportation and assistance with errands for senior clients who live in Kennebec County. There are currently 13 seniors, who are waiting for a helping hand in the Augusta, Benton, Gardiner, Sidney, South China, Waterville and Winthrop area.

Those interested in becoming a volunteer, or those who know of a senior person who is isolated and may need this kind of support, can contact Program Coordinator Lynn Kidd at 530-0137 or lkidd@ccmaine.org.
