THE MOTTO OF the statewide organization, Alaska Community Services is "Helping Alaska's Seniors Help Alaska" and they do that in a variety of ways including through their Foster Grandparents Program. In the Southcentral region there are about 50 seniors who are foster grandparents and most of them spend 20-plus hours a week volunteering.

KTD Host Shana Sheehy spoke with foster grandparent Zandra Kinnie to learn about the difference she has been making in the lives of kids for the last 16 years.
