Get Involved

Heartland Senior Services is grateful for the community support that it has received throughout the years!  It comes in many forms such as: financial donors, volunteers, community speakers, community advocates, business and organization sponsorships, media partnerships, in-kind gifts, and simply word-of-mouth praise!

Advocate:  This is something that can be done on a daily basis… by valuing older people through understanding their needs and their contributions to society.  You may help in the following specific ways:

• Community Advocates 
  Heartland has a team of advocates who serve liaisons in each Story County community.   The community advocates help explain activities and services that Heartland has to offer to their fellow community residents, and also alert Heartland to unmet senior needs. 
• Speakers Bureau
  Community presentations by HSS are available to groups on a variety of agency services.  Presentations are uniquely designed to meet the needs of each individual audience.  You may know of a group that is looking for a presenter.  Or you may be qualified and willing as a participant to speak on behalf of Heartland.

Donate:  Your dollars are necessary to continue to offer (and expand programs) and reach an ever-growing number of seniors.  Also, in-kind donations and sponsorships are welcome and needed.

Participate:  Your participation in congregate meals, activities, services, not only is personally meaningful but also keep our programs vibrant and growing.

Volunteer:  Approximately 750 Heartland volunteers contributed 27,000 hours of service last year.  By sharing your hobbies, skills, and talents, you can be part of that successful team.
