Eventide Homes have recently commenced an Intergenerational Volunteering program with Stawell Secondary College. The program involves the delivery of meals to our retirement village residents. A friendly cohort of Year 11 students from the College collect the meals from the Eventide kitchen and deliver to residents throughout our Retirement Village.
The intergenerational connection brings benefits to all involved and allows our retirement village residents and volunteers to feel valued, and less isolated. Both residents and students have appreciated the connection, with students noting how the deliveries and conversations bring a smile to many faces.
