Start 2017 with helping others by volunteering with your kids!
Spend just 30 minutes with a senior; you can make his/her day (and
yours!). Visitors are always welcome! Let the staff introduce you
to residents who like to play card games, read poetry, do puzzles or
get outdoors for a stroll. But most important, they would appreciate
meeting someone just to talk with. Could that someone be YOU?
Days and times are flexible. Visit the website for more information.
