Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of the Center. With such a small staff, we rely on our volunteers to keep the Center running. You can be a part of what makes the center an important part of over 4,000 seniors lives. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and get to know people in your neighborhood. We will do everything we can to match your interests to our needs.
