 Volunteerism is one the hallmarks of United Presbyterian Home. From the very beginning local church members, children, service clubs, and staff have volunteered in our facility. We are blessed to have a wide diversity of volunteers - young children and older adults; volunteers who are here once a year and volunteers who are here every day; inidviduals and families; service organizations and church groups. These volunteers complete a variety of tasks for all of us - reading to our residents, assisting activities, tending gardens, delivering mail, running errands, and helping with office projects. The residents that we have are so important and deserve the very best. Volunteers help to supplement the paid staff's efforts - to do the little "extras" and to spend valuable time with the residents. For our volunteers, no one is more or less important than another, and no job is too big or too small. We can (and do!) count the number of volunteers who have served, the number of hours that have been given, and even translate those hours into dollars. What is truly immeasurable is the difference that each of the volunteers has made to the culture and high quality of life. The reputation has been built and grown over the years due to the volunteers and how they have faithfully served. Volunteer opportunities are available in many areas. Volunteers will be placed in opportunities according to their interests and availability.
