Want to become a Mercy Community Health Volunteer?
We are fortunate to have a wide base of volunteers at Mercy Community
Health -- individuals who range from 15 years old to 90 years old and
include family members, residents, neighbors, college interns and high
school students. Volunteers can participate in a range of services,
such as :
- Working in the gift shop
- Proving pastoral care by serving as transporters, Eucharistic ministers and spiritual companions
- Pet therapy
- Clown therapy
- Socializing with residents
- Participating in recreational activities
As a volunteer, you can make an important impact on our residents'
day-to-day lives. As one of our own McAuley residents put it, "The
world's problems are so overwhelming -- nothing I can do would make a
difference. But when I volunteer to shop for a fellow resident who
can't leave his apartment, I see the difference my efforts make in a
person's life. I feel good about doing it."
In very familiar words, it's in giving that we receive.
