The Foster Grandparent Program is dedicated to providing low-income senior citizens the opportunity to serve as volunteers with meaningful assignments at local non-profit organizations while working with special needs children. Foster Grandparent volunteers must be 60 years of age or older, physically fit to serve, and volunteer 20 hours per week. Benefits include non-taxable stipends, transportation, meals, and an annual physical.  Household income eligibility is based on 125% of the Federal poverty guidelines.
