Tuesdays a cake get-together, Fridays cooking together: Among other things, with these new offers from “Together instead of alone”, the neighborhood help wants to reach older people from the communities of Taufkirchen and Unterhaching who suffer from loneliness and often poverty in old age. Since the journey to and from the event is too difficult for some senior citizens, the organizers are now looking for volunteers to provide a pick-up and delivery service. You should have a car and enjoy driving older people to the appointments of “Together instead of alone,” according to a statement from the neighborhood help.
This is particularly in demand at the bi-weekly cake meeting on Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., which started the previous week, and at the weekly cooking meeting on Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., which starts on February 24th. Both events take place in the house of the neighborhood help at the Ahornring in Taufkirchen. If there are enough volunteers, the pick-up and delivery service could also be extended to other offers such as song lessons and afternoon games, according to the neighborhood help.
