The Bourg Society
Welcome to The Bourg Society, a local nonprofit organization helping aging adults to age in place safely, by encouraging individuals and organizations to volunteer and “adopt an aging adult,” within their communities, and provide the supportive care and assistance they need to continue to age in their homes safely, such as light meal prep and home helper, social service forms and website assistance, grocery delivery, physician appointment transportation, companionship and comfort care. We strive to offer education and increase awareness of the concerns, needs, and desires of our aging adults, and to raise the funds required to assist with transitional housing when necessary.

The Bourg Society offers non-medical supportive care and personal assistance.
We’re calling on individuals and companies to Adopt an Aging Adult and help bring joy and support to seniors in Jefferson, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes. Many aging adults face isolation and difficulty managing daily activities, but with just a few hours of your time, you can make a meaningful difference. Volunteers offer companionship, assist with errands, transportation, light meals, and help seniors safely age in place. Whether you’re a great listener, a green thumb, or just love helping others, your time and kindness are valuable.
We provide background checks, training, and orientation to prepare you for a fulfilling volunteer experience. Join us in making life brighter for seniors—and discover how rewarding giving back can be.
