What Is the Pet Care Program?
The MPTF Pet Care Program offers a helping hand to older adults living on fixed income with the purchase of pet food, pet supplies, veterinarian care, and boarding if the owner experiences a passing medical condition or is hospitalized.
The program’s goal is to put the ease back into pet ownership so seniors may continue to reap the health benefits associated with having a pet without the stress or worry.

What Are Phone Buddies?
Volunteers are matched with seniors who would benefit from weekly socializing on the phone. Many times seniors are socially isolated due to frailty or medical
issues. Phone Buddies provide companionship, support, and help the person feel connected to the entertainment community.

What Are Pool Buddies/Fitness Floor Buddies? Volunteers are matched with seniors who may need assistance getting in and out of the pool or with the
fitness equipment at the Saban Center for Health and Wellness. Seniors who love the water, but may have balance or coordination challenges, can go back into
the water thanks to their Pool Buddy. Fitness Buddies assist seniors with the work out equipment on the fitness floor.

What Are Grocery Shoppers?
Volunteers help seniors who need assistance with grocery shopping due to frailty, balance issues or who no longer drive. Grocery shopping assistance helps
seniors maintain a sense of independence, as well as a home stocked with fresh food.

What Are Friendly Visitors?
Volunteers are matched with seniors in their neighborhood who could benefit from regular social visits from fellow industry members. Friendly visits offer
tremendous benefits to seniors including improved physical, mental and emotional health, as well as gaining a positive outlook.
