Our volunteer program aims to enrich the lives of seniors and disabled community members by pairing them with compassionate individuals or families. Volunteers will offer assistance and companionship to improve the quality of life for those in need. Services are provided directly in the client’s home, fostering a sense of comfort and familiarity while promoting independence and well-being. As a token of appreciation for their dedication, volunteers are compensated with gift cards for gas and food. Join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of others within our community.
