Give Back to your Community!

Volunteers Needed!

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community?

SHINE is a Florida Department of Elder Affairs program through which volunteers provide free, unbiased one-on-one insurance counseling and information about Medicare options and prescription drug assistance for elders and their families and caregivers. Volunteers are being sought to assist with the program. Volunteers assist seniors in making informed healthcare decisions. As the number of Medicare beneficiaries needing assistance increases, the need for volunteers increases, too.

The next class is the last week of June and meals and travel are reimbursed. For information about volunteering contact SHINE program manager Sue Samson at sue.samson@aaapp.or or 727-570-9696 ext. 234. For a volunteer application, visitwww.floridashine.org/join-the-team.aspx.
