It has been a rewarding seven years since I began volunteering with The Gathering Place. My nursing background was desperately in need of some type of ‘care giving’ following my retirement. This opportunity has filled that need plus so much more. Many times I feel as though the tables are turned and I’m the one on the receiving end!
We volunteers are so appreciated by the participants, their families and the awesome staff. It is an amazing win-win for all of us.
What a privilege to spend part of my Wednesday, with a room full of friends!
Volunteering doesn’t allow me to just help others, it makes a difference in my life as well!
