Volunteers are the heart and soul of who we are.

A volunteer is someone who gives a part of themselves to someone in serious need, and the Center is always in need of caring and dedicated volunteers with a variety of interests and skill sets. You have a wide range of roles from which to choose, as diverse as handyman, fundraiser, and yoga instructor. All are equally important, as all support our residents during their stay.
