We will resume volunteer activities as soon as we are directed by the State Health Department that it is safe to do so.
We do have our Regular Volunteer groups submitting Videos of Reading / Music / Chats etc for us to share with residents. We play these back on the TV so all the cottage residents can see the videos and the familiar faces of the volunteers. Snail Mail is also a great way for Volunteers to keep in touch. We have One Volunteer group writing letters to the community which our caregivers will be reading to each resident. Please feel Free to participate in whichever way you can.
