We are blessed to have a wide diversity of volunteers - young children and older adults; volunteers who are here once a year and volunteers who are here every day; individuals and families; service organizations and church groups. These volunteers complete a variety of tasks for all of us - reading to our residents, assisting activities, tending gardens, delivering mail, running errands, and helping with office projects. The residents that we have been called to serve are so important and deserve the very best. Volunteers help to supplement the paid staff's efforts - to do the little "extras" and to spend valuable time with the residents.

For our volunteers, no one is more or less important than another, and no job is too big or too small. Just as Corinthians 12 talks about many parts, but one body, each of our volunteers have many jobs, but one purpose - and that is to give back some of the blessings they have been given. We can (and do!) count the number of volunteers who have served, the number of hours that have been given, and even translate those hours into dollars. What is truly immeasurable is the difference that each of the volunteers has made to the residents and staff members. Presbyterian Homes is known for our Christian culture and high quality of life. This reputation has been built and grown over the years due to the volunteers and how they have faithfully served.

Volunteer opportunities are available in many areas seven days a week in the morning, afternoon and evening. Written job descriptions for each opportunity can be obtained from the Volunteer Director. The job descriptions contain useful information including tasks, hours needed, qualifications and orientation information. Volunteers will be placed in opportunities according to their interests, qualifications and availability.

Some examples of volunteer opportunities include:
