Adopt a Grandparent
What is Adopt a Grandparent?
We provide and facilitate opportunities for intergenerational friendships in order to expand our volunteers’ abilities to understand, empathize, and relate to those of another demographic, especially one that is often overlooked. We seek to serve as the Savior did by helping to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” (D&C 81:5) of those in local nursing and assisted living facilities.
How do I get involved?
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Come help elderly residents feel cared for and loved. We visit assisted living facilities on Saturdays and Sundays. Our visits involve playing games, talking with residents, and spreading Christlike love. You are welcome to come as little or as often as you would like. There is no training or other materials required to volunteer, but we ask that you fill out this waiver before attending. We hope you find a new grandparent to love!

I had such a fun time visiting with one specific resident. She had so much energy and excitement as we talked, and it was so contagious! Our visit was so positive and impactful for her, and I'm so glad I took the time to volunteer! I felt the Spirit and came much closer to the Savior.
I love the fact that we get to make a meaningful impact on the lives of such sweet, elderly souls who not only need someone to talk too, but also can't do most things on there own.
I became close with Lois to the point that she asks where I am when I’m not there. It’s really sweet and makes me happy to know she cares enough to miss me!
