How You Can Help
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. The most frequent providers of services will be volunteers. We have several committees building the structure for this organization. We will soon be needing volunteers who would like to provide individual services, such as rides to medical appointments, teaching simple computer tasks or running occasional errands.
Wouldn't you like to volunteer? Attend a meeting of one of the committees listed below and tell the chair of your interest. Or, send us an e-mail and tell us what you would like to do.
