LifePath Overview and Volunteer Resources
Could you or someone you know benefit from help at home with everyday tasks, such as bathing, meal preparation, and medication management? Or perhaps you know a caregiver who needs support for themselves and their loved ones.
LifePath is dedicated to the well-being of older adults, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers.

○ Our recent Healthy Living Workshop had 2 volunteers and 12 participants who
learned about “Living with Chronic Conditions,”
○ Our Rides for Health volunteer in Warwick drives a woman living in Athol to
medical appointments in Gardner. (Last month gave 27 rides to 12 clients!)
○ Every day, our Meals on Wheels Volunteers bring a cheerful hello (wellness check),
and a hot meal to over 500 individuals,
○ As a Money Management volunteer, Janet helps a person pay their rent—this step
can mean someone at risk of eviction remains in stable housing.
