Make a Difference in Someone’s Life

Our volunteers are very special people. They bring joy, cheer and varied interests and life experiences into our home and into the lives of our residents and patients. They can be found visiting with residents, entertaining, running exercise groups, leading discussion groups, helping with cooking demonstrations, and more. Volunteers contribute to the quality of life at Greenwood House and help make it the vibrant and warm home it is.
