Nominees sought for senior volunteer awards

Home Instead Senior Care, which serves seniors in Burbank, Glendale and Toluca Lake, is searching to reward senior volunteers for the contributions they make in these local communities.

To nominate a senior, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com through March 15. Or email ckoehler@homeinsteadinc.com.

Nominees must be at least 65 and volunteer at least 15 hours each month.

Winners will receive plaques and their stories will be posted online. Additionally, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s charity of choice.

“Helping others defines life for many local retired seniors,” said Gary Reid, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Burbank, Glendale and Toluca Lake.

“And what a difference we have observed in seniors’ health, attitude and outlook among those who choose to stay active as they age.”
