Welcome Our Newest Nonprofit: SASI (Services for Adults Staying in Their Homes) is Seeking Compassionate Volunteers to Make Living Easier for Older Adults Living in Their Homes

The mission of SASI (Services for Adults Staying in Their Homes) is to support the efforts of older adults to remain in their homes: we make living easier.

SASI works to achieve its Mission with two core programs, Home Care (HC) and Senior Connections (SC). HC provides licensed affordable home care that enables an older adult to remain at home, where they want to be, sometimes avoiding unneeded institutionalization. SC trains volunteers to be friendly visitors to isolated seniors. In addition to our two core programs SASI sponsors free community events including technology classes, writing groups and other programs.

Volunteers are Integral to Our Organization.  Volunteer opportunities available include:

Senior Connections Volunteers
Volunteer Drivers
Volunteer Writing Group Facilitators
Volunteer Transcribers
Special Event Volunteers
Board of Director Members
Office Volunteers

Visit our website to fill out a volunteer application at: www.SASIathome.org
OR call SASI at (847) 864-7274 for an appointment to fill out an application.

Our Biggest Make A Difference Day Ever!

	

		


The Volunteer Center would like to thank the volunteers and donors that helped make this year’s Make A Difference Day a smashing success even during this challenging time — with a special shout-out to our amazing partners Highcrest Middle School and Wilmette Junior High PTOs.  Individuals, families and community groups turned out with trunks full of donations for 15 local nonprofits working on the front lines to help people (and animals!) in need.  Hard-working volunteers and generous donors adjusted seamlessly to the safe, socially-distanced, no contact drop-off process — and a new location — donating everything from winter coats to prom dresses, school supplies to sporting goods, textbooks to toiletries.  Continue reading for more details.  See you next year!

Happy Holidays — and Happy Volunteering — from The Volunteer Center

	

		


The coronavirus has made this an unusual holiday season, and is challenging local nonprofits in new ways.  But their mission is more important than ever, especially during the holidays, and many of our nonprofit partners are in need of volunteers.  We will post holiday opportunities as they come to us, so check this page regularly.   We also encourage you to search through our list of nonprofits, and if you find an organization that you would like to support you can also contact them directly through our website to let them know you’re interested in volunteering.   Wishing all volunteers a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!
