Every week, 67-year-old Connie Bateman gets ready for a weekly outing with a volunteer from ACC Senior Services, a nonprofit that offers support services to older adults in Sacramento. Being visually impaired, Bateman likes that she is able to stay active and visible in her Meadowview neighborhood in South Sacramento.
“It just makes me feel safer,” Bateman said. “It’s more fun to walk with other people.”
