Volunteer With  Us

Whether through pet visits, music, gardening, or art, your time and compassion can brighten someone’s day.

Services We Provide

Join us for one visit or weekly to water the garden, check on the plants, and spend time with the residents. It’s a great way to connect with nature and bring joy to the community!

Garden

Become a Pet Visitor and bring the joy of gentle dogs, cats, turtles, or birds to seniors in care facilities. Help brighten their day with the comfort and companionship only animals can provide

Pets

Share your passion for music, dance, acting, poetry, or visual arts with seniors in continuing care. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, your creative gifts can bring joy, spark memories, and provide meaningful connections to those in need.

Art

Help us bring the healing power of music to seniors by programming tablets and phones with personalized playlists, helping patients relive cherished memories, reduce stress, and even restore speech through singing along to beloved songs.
