“I wanted to serve others in a way that felt meaningful, and make genuine human connections with people I might not usually meet on a daily basis. I also wanted to contribute to the older adult community that has done so much for me.”

Juniper Ella Williams Companion Volunteer

“I just get so much personal satisfaction from volunteering. There is something so rewarding about it and it makes me feel so fulfilled knowing that I can help others. When you volunteer, you’re not just helping residents you’re also helping the staff so they can do more activities with the residents.”

“For me, volunteering is more about the companionship, as there are a lot of lonely people out there and it’s nice to be able to help provide support. “When you volunteer, you don’t do it for the recognition. You do it because you want to make a difference in peoples’ lives.”

“I love driving the bus and taking residents on outings. It helps them stay connected to their local community and they get out and about. I see how much it means to them to get out and about and feel the breeze on their face and the sun on their skin.”
