A local nonprofit is looking to expand a program connecting seniors and young people in DeWitt County. 

Alisha Mitchell with Community Action explains they are looking for more site locations for its Foster Grandparents Program - particularly in DeWitt County.

Mitchell notes the program can be very flexible depending on the needs of the site location, as long as volunteers are able to meet the minimum 15 hours per week.

The program's growth depends heavily on the community's participation. Mitchell says while she is onboarding with a few site locations in DeWitt, she's always looking for more. 

If you're interested in volunteering or becoming a site location for the Foster Grandparents Program, visit capcil.info or call Community Action at 217-732-2159.
