Care Recipients at one of our monthly luncheons
Often, our volunteers and care recipients become friends. Volunteers have been known to have their care recipient over for Thanksgiving dinner. Sometimes they go to movies together or listen to music. Seniors can be quite isolated. As a volunteer, you will be providing them with positive human contact and caring attention, something that they don’t often receive but so deserve.
