Benefits of Volunteering

Smiling volunteers

"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up."  — John Andrew Holmes

Volunteering is a wonderful gift that can be given to patients and the community. Volunteers meet new people, make new friends, use their skills and acquire new ones. They feel a sense of accomplishment and perhaps the most important benefit is the satisfaction of knowing they are contributing to their community and making a difference.
