Volunteers help
with anything from reading a newspaper to a resident to
helping decorate cookies! |
Touch the heart of someone, and you might be
surprised just how much it touches yours.
Volunteering at Good Shepherd means being a friend. Many residents
crave the personal one on one interaction that comes with everyday
life. Several of these people may have no family or friends who come
to visit, and find themselves bored, wishing they had a friend to talk
to. You can help fill that void by being a listening ear or a shoulder
to cry on.
At GSLC, we treat every resident with the
dignity and respect, which includes maintaining a sense of normalcy,
through activities and personal interaction. Your help can be anything
from assisting a resident in organizing their dresser drawer to
sending them a card.
Opportunities for volunteering:
- Resident Activities
- Reading to Residents
- Social Interaction
- Sunday Worship Services (helping residents
get to the Chapel)
- Entertainment
- Pet Therapy
- Intergenerational Interaction
- Writing (Postal) Friends
- Coffee Hour Socials
- And Much More…
There are many volunteer opportunities at Good
Shepherd Lutheran Community and we would love your help. If you want
