Our volunteer family is a unique blend of community members. They include retirees, students, individuals looking for a career change and people who have time to give.

When do they volunteer?

Volunteering fits into everyone’s schedule. We offer a variety of day and evening shifts, seven days a week. We ask you to make a minimum one-year commitment to a regular weekly schedule and assignment, usually four hours per week.

Some of the important things they do are: greet our patients with a smile and escort them to their destination, get a blanket or socks for a patient who feels cold and comfort family members and keep them informed.
