Village Volunteers

We are a nonprofit volunteer organization who for the past 6 years have helping older adults to live independently. You may know us as Greater Lewes Community Village. Today we serve hundreds of older adults as we now cover the zip codes of Lewes, Milton, Rehoboth Beach, we are doing business as Village Volunteers

VILLAGE VOLUNTEERS Our older neighbors need your time, your skills, your way The ongoing risk of COVID-19 makes the mission of Village Volunteers — to help older adults live independent lives for as long as possible — more important than ever. For the near future, it has also changed the way we approach that mission. Because our members are especially vulnerable, Village Volunteers continues to provide our most crucial services: medical transports. We drive our members to doctor visits, medical tests and treatments, physical therapy and rehab. Yet our volunteers are vulnerable as well. Our commitment to serve the aging communities in and around Lewes, Milton, and Rehoboth Beach is unabated, but we are doing so as safely as possible: ➢ Rather than driving members to the store for groceries, we are doing their shopping, picking up their prescriptions, and running other essential errands for them. ➢ Rather than offering friendly home visits, we are staying in close contact by phone and in writing. Until this threat has passed, our Village Volunteers are serving by adapting. Without our volunteers, many members might go without assistance, living in isolation and fear.
