ST. LOUIS NORC
Did you know that you live in a naturally occurring retirement community (NORC)? A NORC is a geographic area with a large percentage of residents over age 60. To help neighbors continue to live independently and safely in their homes, a variety of services are available. Services include minor home repair and technology troubleshooting assistance by trained and screened volunteers, discounts to area businesses (e.g., The J, Waterway Carwash, McDonalds), quarterly newsletters with useful resources, and access to caring professionals who provide connections to programs and services to meet your unique needs. Here’s the link to the latest newsletter.
To learn more about becoming a NORC member or volunteer, contact Joan Hirst at jhirst@jfsstl.org or 314-812-9344, or visit stlnorc.org.
