VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are a vital part of making any organization thrive. Without volunteers, it would be impossible to circulate information and serve the seniors of South West Kansas.
Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK)
Trained SHICK volunteers offer individual assistance in explaining Medicare, Supplemental Insurance policies and Medicaid benefits so consumers can make an informed choice. The Area Agency recruits a network of volunteer counselors to assist older Kansans in our region solving health insurance problems.
Nutrition
SWKAAA is always seeking volunteers to help with meal delivery, setting tables, serving food, or even using your creativity to bring new activities, entertainment, or programing to our nutrition sites. Our meal programs are more than a meal, they keep our seniors active and healthy
