The Kansas City area's older adult population is expected to nearly double over the next 20 years, from almost 180,000 in 2007 to more than 372,000 by the year 2030 — a 107 percent increase! One program that makes a huge impact for older adults is SHICK also known as Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas. Our eight trained volunteer counselors cannot begin to help everyone in Johnson County with their Medicare Health and Drug plans.

We need volunteers to help these aging residents navigate the Medicare Maze. If you enjoy working with others, can use a computer and want to make a difference, then this is the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!

To find out more about this beneficial program, please be our guest at the this free informational lunch. Please register so that we can provide enough lunch for everyone.
