Second Family Care Team   

What do we do as Second Family Care Team?
      
        Second Family reaches out to those who are elderly, ill or physically
        disabled and need just a little help to remain independent. Many of our care
        partners have no family members close by, and our volunteers help meet such
        basic needs as transportation to doctor appointments, the grocery store or
        to Mass. We provide companionship for those who are lonely, and we offer
        respite care for spouses or family members who need a little break from
        caring for their ill or disabled loved ones.
      
        If you have a few extra hours a month, and a willingness to help people,
        then Second Family Care Team is right for you.  We need you (and your
        family) to join our team and become a part of Second Family!
