Volunteer Opportunities
There is always something happening at the Bend Senior Center and volunteers help make it happen! We need your experience and talents.
If being involved and making new friends sounds like what you are looking for, volunteer at the Bend Senior Center. Volunteers work closely with staff to provide programs and services that serve local seniors and the community.
Volunteers provide support by answering phones and helping with office tasks, greeting visitors and offering tours, assisting with programs and the senior fitness center and staffing the library.
Meals on Wheels and Senior Nutrition Program
Volunteers are needed to help with the senior lunch
program offered weekdays at Bend Senior Center and as drivers
for Meals on Wheels. This program is offered by the Central
Oregon Council on Aging. For more information, call Mary Marsh
at 382-3008.
