The following volunteer opportunities are currently available on our campus:

Transportation Companion

Many times a week residents need transportation to physician appointments.  Often their families are not available to ride with them to the appointments.  As a volunteer rider you can help by riding to appointments with them and assisting them into the physicians’ office. You would have the opportunity to converse with the residents while together.  Times may vary and training will be provided.

Bird Aviary/Pet Helper

The residents at the Care Center find enjoyment from the bird aviary and fish aquarium.  We need a volunteer that would enjoy working with the birds and fish.  If you are an animal lover this opportunity is for you.

Kickball/ Balloon Volleyball Leaders

Fancy Fingers

Don’t all ladies feel better when their nails are looking great?  We need manicure assistants to help a couple of times a month make that happen for our residents.  No cutting of nails is involved, just painting and beautiful results.  It will even make you feel better!!
