Volunteer to check on your elderly neighbors
The city of Richmond’s Neighbor-to-Neighbor program is currently recruiting volunteers to conduct well-being checks on the city’s elderly and disabled population during periods of extreme temperatures and to assist the city in operating cooling shelters when the temperature reaches or exceeds the 95 degree mark.
Persons interested in volunteering for these efforts should log onto www.richmondgov.com/NeighborToNeighbor or contact the Neighbor-to-Neighbor office at (804) 646-7491.
Mayor Dwight C. Jones established the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Initiative to inspire residents, businesses and city employees to volunteer and develop a closer relationship with their neighbor, with an express focus to help the youth, elderly and disabled residents of the city of Richmond. If a resident is interested in volunteering for the positions detailed above or for a list of volunteer opportunities, please visit www.richmondgov.com/NeighborToNeighbor.

I have an ederly couple who lives next-door to me, and I check on them all the time.
They have a/c,but I still feel we as genuine concerned neighbors we should keep check on the elderly and disabled.
Any good deed we do here on earth may not be rewarded or seen by others. However, there’s a record keeper in the sky, and it’ll be rewarded someday.
