| If you love children, are at least 60 years of
age, meet certain income eligibility requirements,
and are willing to volunteer 20 hours a week, we
want you to apply to be a Foster Grandparent.
Foster Grandparents receive a tax-free stipend of
$2.65 per hour to cover the cost of serving. This
stipend is not considered income for any purpose.
Grandparents also receive pre-service and monthly
training, transportation assistance, and
supplemental insurance while they are volunteering.
But best of all you receive all the love and hugs
you would like.
To learn more or to receive
additional information on the Foster Grandparent
Program, please call Stacy Friesland at 828-251-6622
or 1-800-727-0557.
