Embrace Our Elderly
Embrace Our Elderly is a campaign in partnership with Volunteer Owensboro and The Cromwell Radio Group to bring awareness to the many elderly in the Owensboro, KY community. Our goal is to connect volunteers with local nursing homes and assisted living facilities to create more joy in the lives of our elderly. Please, reach out today. 

Visiting Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities

Many of our elderly community need people to visit and volunteer time. Sit and talk awhile, laugh with them, do activities such as music, games, bible study, or just be a friend. Some have no family and holidays are especially lonely. Folks who would like to spend some time making elderly friends smile are always welcome.

Wondering where to start? Call some of the places listed below and tell them you want to volunteer occasionally. They will be glad to hear from you!
