Retired and Senior Volunteer Program
Volunteer service builds bridges throughout our community and connects people to people. Meaningful volunteer opportunities are offered for volunteers of all ages. If you have time and energy to spare, we can connect you with organizations or individuals who need assistance, by simply calling our volunteer office at 764-1612.

Volunteers also work on one-time special-event projects, such as Daffodils for Hospice and Make a Difference Day.
