We could never do what we do in our community without the help of all our amazing volunteers.
Calling All Volunteers!
Senior Concerns has several programs to support the health, well-being and quality of life of seniors and family caregivers. Our goal is to ensure that our community’s most vulnerable population and their caregivers have everything they need to remain supported, and we rely on volunteers to help make this a success each and every day.
Volunteers are needed throughout the year to fill several roles at Senior Concerns. Your help makes our programs possible.
Sign up is easy! Volunteer positions are available in the following areas:
- Meals On Wheels Delivery Drivers
- Home Delivered Meal Program
- Adult Day Program
Be a part of and support our mission. Whether through direct donations, volunteering, business, corporate or personal sponsorships, your support is always needed and appreciated! If you’d like to join our mission, but are unable to volunteer at this time, please consider a DONATION.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering to help support our community’s seniors through our Senior Concerns services.
Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
Adult Day Program
Location: 401 Hodencamp Road, Thousand Oaks
The Senior Concerns Adult Day program is a place where older adults with cognitive and/or physical impairments can come to enjoy activities and socialization with the care and supervision they need. Our participants look forward to their time at the Adult Day Center, where they can participate in fun, enriching programs and activities that help fulfill social, spiritual and recreational needs while socializing with peers in a friendly, respectful and caring environment.
Volunteers help augment our programs and provide more individual attention to our participants. Volunteers may help with:
- Engaging in conversations with participants
- Assisting to lead or facilitate activities at your comfort level
- Serving snacks and drinks as needed
Main hours of the program are between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. We request volunteer sign up for a 2-hour shift.

Meals on Wheels

The Senior Concerns’ Meals On Wheels program ensures homebound seniors get to eat nutritious, freshly prepared meals by delivering meals to their doorstep. More than 85 community volunteers deliver close to 37,000 nutritionally balanced hot lunches and light meals to seniors in Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Oak Park and Agoura Hills. Meals are available 365 days a year. In addition to the delicious food, prepared in the kitchens of Los Robles Rehabilitation Hospital in accordance with the Senior Nutrition Program, Meals On Wheels’ volunteers deliver holiday gifts and surprises, as well as daily smiles and friendly conversation to seniors.
