ABOUT US
The St. Regis Falls Adult Center has many diversified activities, events, programs and services for older adults, 60 years and above.
The purpose of the Adult Center is to reaffirm the dignity and value of the older adults in the community by providing the opportunity to
participate in a wide variety of activities, share talents and experiences and to socialize with
one’s peers. Furthermore, it is of the utmost importance for the existence of such Centers to promote an appropriate level of independence, yet to prevent isolation, loneliness and a lack of purpose.
Ultimately, we strive to respond to the growing and changing needs of the Senior population.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers play a vital role in their community by contributing their talents and experience. The Adult Center is always looking for volunteers to be on their Board of Directors, to present programs to fellow seniors on an array of topics and to deliver Meals on Wheels. The Waverly Reading Center and the Waverly Food Pantry are two additional places that rely on volunteers.If you would like to volunteer or have a suggested topic that you would like to present, please call Barbie Fitzgerald at (518) 856-9861.
MEALS ON WHEELS
Meals on Wheels provides nutritious meals, a quick safety check and a much-needed human connection to homebound seniors.
When you volunteer to deliver these meals, you will pick up them up at the St. Regis Falls Adult Center and deliver them to our elderly clients along one of two routes:
-
Route 1 covers clients within the town of Waverly and/or Santa Clara, and typically takes about an hour to complete.
-
Route 2 covers clients in the other surrounding towns and typically takes 2 hours to complete.
When you volunteer to be a driver, you not only deliver a nutritious meal to our clients, but you also “check-in” to make sure they are okay through a friendly greeting or brief conversation. You are not expected to stay with the client for the meal.
You can volunteer based on your timeline: once or twice a week, once or twice a month or as emergency backup.
The Adult Center has a van that you can use for your route or you can use your own vehicle with the option to turn in a mileage statement for reimbursement.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver, please call Barbie Fitzgerald at (518) 856-9861
or stop by the Center, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. for more information.
