Established in 1984, CAREGIVERS Volunteers Assisting the Elderly addresses the plight of frail, homebound seniors in our community by providing non-professional in-home assistance, transportation to medical appointments and grocery shopping; help with light household tasks and companionship, totally free of charge. In 2002, CAREGIVERS implemented the "Building Bridges" Intergenerational Youth Program, which brings local area high school students into the homes of the frail elderly to help with heavier household tasks and yard work. Last year, CAREGIVERS provided 48,000 hours of free service and donated 83,000 miles of transportation for 342 homebound seniors. CAREGIVERS is a 501(c) (3) non-profit interfaith organization, established
in Ventura in 1984. It is supported by the generosity of individuals,
United Way,
foundation grants, corporations, churches and civic organizations.
