Various organizations in Canal Winchester dedicate one day every April/May to go out into the community and complete outside jobs for senior citizen residents in our community. From cleaning windows to yard work, these volunteers go home-to-home to serve others.

Every fall, our friends at Canal Winchester High School spend the day helping Canal Winchester's senior citizens. They assist with outside jobs such as raking leaves and washing windows.

Twice a month, trips are planned by Canal Winchester Human Services, and transportation is provided through our Senior Transportation program. Our drivers look forward to these social events with our seniors. Examples of trips include: baseball games, theater performances, park visits, historical tours, and lunch outings. If interested, one must be an active member of the Senior Citizens Club ($10 yearly membership fee). To sign up or obtain more information, call (614) 837-8276.

Seniors enjoy an evening of glamour and charm at our host location, Canal Winchester High School. Lydia Tokarz, Megan Longstreth, and Student Council organize this event.

Smiles for Miles is a heartfelt senior outreach program led by Canal Winchester Human Services. Through thoughtful acts of kindness—like surprise porch drop-offs, or friendly check-ins, our staff and volunteers bring joy and connection to senior citizens in our community. Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers, a cheerful card, or simply a listening ear, every gesture is a reminder that our seniors are seen, valued, and never alone.
Together, we go the extra mile—just to make someone smile.
