Hopewell Valley Senior Services June Events and Activities

by MercerMe Staff

The Hopewell Valley Senior Services offers events, programs, educational classes, and lectures throughout the year. This month, they are offering the following:

Register Ready – New Jersey’s Special Needs Registry for Disasters
New Jersey’s Special Needs Registry for Disasters, a free, voluntary and confidential program designed to assist people with medical or physical needs who may find it difficult to get to safety in the event of an emergency or natural disasters.  People with these needs (or caregivers on their behalf) are encouraged to register through  www.registerready.nj.gov.  Alternatively, they can call New Jersey’s toll-free 2-1-1 telephone service. This service will register people, offer free translation, and provide TTY services for the hearing-impaired. We encourage you and your loved ones to sign up and register! Help us help you, prepare for disasters before they happen!

Senior Picnic Door Prize Volunteers
It’s almost that time of year again for the Hopewell Valley Senior Picnic! Once again we are looking for people to ask for and collect door prizes for the picnic.  Please contact Randi Knechel, (609) 537-0236 or [email protected], if you are interested in volunteering.  You will be asked to distribute flyers for the businesses and receipts after/at the time the item is picked up.  We have a list of past donors, however, new ideas are always welcome! Any door prizes that are collected may be dropped off at Hopewell Township Municipal Building to Randi in Senior Services located downstairs in the Health Department.
