The San Juan Island Family Resource Center has launched Island Neighbors, a volunteer-based community outreach program. This program is designed to offer support and companionship to isolated seniors and persons with disabilities who are living independently but need extra help to sustain a healthier quality of life.

Involvement with Island Neighbors can initiate meaningful relationships, help prevent loss of independence, and create new connections to the community. Island Neighbors is currently looking for volunteers and has many different levels of volunteer opportunities available. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the San Juan Island Family Resource Center at 378-5246 or neighborsjifrc@gmail.com.
