They offer respite, to allow caregivers a few hours off, emotional support, companionship and a wide range of homemaking tasks including errands and transportation. Volunteers have the option for assisting in indirect care as well. Helping out in the office or working with our volunteer coordinator to assist in other aspects of the program.
