Volunteer Services
We believe that the elderly deserve dignity and respect. Volunteer Services helps with day-to-day chores, transportation, and other tasks to allow seniors to live independently. Connection to others plays a central role in the well-being of seniors. We believe these friendships and gestures of kindness truly improve the quality of life for both those who serve and those who are served.
