Danell LaPread Retiring

Become a volunteer and help seniors in Auburn/Opelika maintain an independent lifestyle. Please consider volunteering!


We provide transportation to medical appointments, grocery shopping, and other needs. We offer help with minor home repairs, learning to use technology, yard work, and provide friendly calls and visits. We also set up monthly lunch buddies and dinner events to help combat isolation. Volunteers select times that are convenient for them.
