Why volunteer your time with us once a month:

  • We meet new people and deepen the relationships with the others who are joining us in service.
  • London School of Economics found that people who volunteer become happier when they contribute at least 1-2 hours each week.
  • The time well-spent gives you a feeling of purpose and meaning — older people experience a higher risk for isolation, depression, and loneliness.
  • It’s a healthy life choice, which can contribute to longer life — less frequency of heart disease and reducing progress of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
  • Volunteering lets us explore new interests and employ our skills.
  • We can inspire others to service.
  • In giving to the community around you, the community becomes stronger.
