The Gift of Volunteering
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. They assist with our recreational activities, baking Challah and cookies, lending a hand in Art Therapy classes, giving manicures and helping with Shabbat services. A volunteer’s time is the essential gift for our residents, their families and the staff.
