What Volunteers Say About Being a Care Team Volunteer:

“These relationships bring new insight to me.”

“My new friendships bring me joy and a sense of purpose.”

“I feel I’m getting more than I’m giving.”

“I’m able to stop…slow down… and relax during these times.”

“I know that my time and every little kindness is so appreciated.”

“I’ve learned more about myself as I’ve served.”

“The training I receive helps me deal with other people in my life.”

“I’m growing older myself and I may need help someday.”

“The gratification is immediate.”

(Don’t just take our word for this…ask a Care Team Volunteer.)
