Home Instead Senior Care is searching for Pennsylvania's most outstanding senior volunteer.
The company announced an oppurtunity for seniors who volunteer to be recognized for their efforts through the Salute to Senior Service program.
Sponsored by Home Instead Inc., the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network, Salute to Senior Service recognizes the contributions of adults 65 years and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.
"Seniors have so much to give and make a positive impact on our communities daily," Scott Bohner, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Schuylkill County, said. "Senior volunteerism not only benefits others, but also helps seniors stay active and socially engaged in their communities, important elements of healthy aging."
The community is being asked to nominate and vote for these "heroes" between Jan. 15 and March 1 at www.SalutetoSeniorService.com.
State winners will be determined by popular vote, then a panel of senior care experts will select a national winner from the state honorees.
Home Instead will donate $500 to each of the state winners' designated and approved nonprofit organizations, and their stories will be shared online, plus $5,000 will be donated to the national winner's designated and approved nonprofit charity.
To submit an online nomination or to view the contest's official rules, visit www.SalutetoSeniorService.com.
Completed nomination forms can also be mailed to Salute to Senior Service, P.O. Box 285, Bellevue, NE 68005.
