VOLUNTEER CORPS FORMED FOR ELDERLY AMERICANS

The U.S. commissioner on aging, Joyce Berry, called on older Americans Thursday to help each other by volunteering.

"There are seniors out there just waiting to be asked," Berry told a news conference at which she announced the establishment of the Eldercare Volunteer Corps., a $15 million effort to recruit and organize volunteer programs for the elderly.
