NEXTVillageSF – Support Services for Seniors
From Jacqueline Jones, Executive Director, NEXT Village SF:
NEXT Village volunteers are offering to grocery shop and pick up prescriptions, and run other helpful errands. We also offer resource information for programs pertaining to seniors and persons with disabilities, and we are providing regular check-in phone calls to any senior who asks to make sure they hear a friendly voice and to see if they need anything.
Our email address is info@nextvillagesf.org and our phone number is 415-888-2868. Volunteers can go to our website to register to help. As you might have heard us say, the Department of Aging forced us to charge people $120 to join, but we are waving that fee for now for our neighbors in need.”
NEXTVillageSF also has provided the following useful information:
