Money, I'm Home

Lynne Jarman-Johnson of Consumers Credit Union interviews Cassandra Stewart of Milestone Senior Services. They discuss the organization's volunteer opportunities, such as Meals on Wheels and the Senior Companion program, which aim to support seniors in the community by providing meals, companionship, and assistance with daily tasks. The conversation highlights the impact of these programs in ensuring the well-being of seniors and fostering meaningful connections. They also emphasize the flexibility of volunteer roles and how individuals can get involved, regardless of transportation limitations.
