How Volunteering Makes a Difference For our Volunteers
Volunteering not only brought a bit of sunshine into our volunteers life, but to our family. With seemingly dark days, feelings of aloneness and difficulty grasping a sense of purpose, we turned to volunteer services. The process has turned tears into smiles, sadness into comfort and created a sense of being a part of a community. We were looking to bring purpose to our lives and find a special sense of feeling needed and belonging, what we found was a “safe place” among a beautiful group of people to begin our journey.
Volunteers don’t only affect patient/visitors lives in a positive way…volunteering changes our own lives for the better!
