Things To Know:
- We meet on CAN Help! Days at one of two facilities located on Azalea Garden Rd. in Norfolk, VA. You will receive detailed instructions, as well as the exact location via email 2-3 days prior to your scheduled day.
- The end time is displayed as 12:00 PM; however, we continue filling CAN Help! bags until all are filled. We are looking for volunteers that have a bit of flexibility in their schedules; however, if you have other time obligations, please let us know!
- Being a CAN Helper does not involve a lot of heavy-lifting or strenuous activity; however, we are more than happy to accomodate any physical limitations.
Volunteer Qualifications:
- CAN-Helpers must be 13+ years of age
- CAN-Helpers under the age of 18 must be accommodated by an adult or guardian
- Volunteers with all abilities are welcomed to register. If you need any accommodations, please let us know ahead of time.

We are happy to certify volunteer hours! Please let us know ahead of time if you need us to provide a volunteer sheet or if you will bring your own.
Please know that your volunteering with us has a deep and profound impact on isolated seniors and helps us to continue to do the work that we do. We look forward to serving beside you!
