We have partnered with several local schools to involve students in the daily lives of our residents. Our After School Program provides daily opportunities for students to visit residents, care for our animals and share experiences.
A volunteer brings cheer, warmth a feeling of home and community events into the lives of residents. Volunteers make residents feel special.
In 2009, volunteers put in a total of more than 18,200 hours! We extend our deep appreciation to our volunteers for their generous service.
