Volunteers
 |
At the Little Sisters of
the Poor, our volunteers are an invaluable resource to our staff and
Residents. More than 100 volunteers come on a daily, weekly or
monthly basis to our Home to assist the Residents and staff. Their
sole purpose is to dedicate part of their time and energy to the
elderly poor.
The volunteers take our Residents to physical
therapy, assist them on shopping trips, volunteer in the kitchen,
organize our rummage and craft/ceramics sales, and help in the
administrative offices.

"We used to come two days a
week," said Kitty and Dan Hilinski, "and now we come five days a week."
They love the people with whom they volunteer and also the caring
atmosphere of the Home.
"Our
volunteers are truly angels," said Anne Brennen, Resident and
volunteer. "We are always looking for some wonderful people to
volunteer at our Home," adds Anne.
