Volunteer Opportunities

We're always looking for new ideas and activities! In the past, residents have enjoyed cooking classes, musical performances, gardening projects, and crafts projects. Contact me with your ideas!

Lunches: Residents eat lunch on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 11:30. Arrangements can be made with dining services for a bagged lunch for you to bring along.
Bingo: Residents play Bingo on Sunday evenings at 4pm and on Wednesdays and Fridays at 5pm. Come by before to chat, or stay to be the caller.




Contact Julie Miller-Hendry with any questions.
