Volunteer Appreciation is coming this Spring!

 
Our theme is still a mystery but thanking you sure isn't!  We'll be hosting a lovely little happy hour in honour of all of our volunteers who have given their time generously to our programs. Save the date for this event on April 25, 2019 and stay tuned for more news!  
 

Drive & accompany a senior to a medical appointment in the city
 

''The essential element of feeling well about your own life is to find the purpose of your existence. By helping seniors, you enrich your life with their experience and you feel proud of yourself.

Giving even one hour a week can have a profound implication on a senior’s day by making him or her feel important and valuable! That terrific feeling will warm your heart and the heart of our seniors for a long time.

The Wellness Center at Jeffery Hale provides the incredible opportunity to make a life of our older citizens better and easier!''

- Julia, volunteer with the Wellness Center since July 2018
