How are volunteers a part of our ministry?
Volunteers are an essential part of our ministry because they build valuable relationships with our residents. Our program is a success because willing people take the time to reach out and provide love and acceptance to those in need. Without the relationships that volunteers create, our residents would fall between the cracks. Volunteers also work behind the scenes to keep our facility running at a minimal cost.
