Cedarbrook Fountain Hill needs a volunteer to do a little shopping for a few residents and for some bingo prizes. This generally takes about two or three hours once a week. The volunteer would stop by the office for a list of items needed, then go shopping, generally at Walmart and The Dollar Store, and return with items and receipts. The residents always appreciate having someone who can shop for them. Volunteers can set their own day/hours and must pass PA Criminal Background Clearance.
