Alternatives to Volunteering Your Time

Are you interested in volunteering but short on time to spare? Consider sponsoring one of our parties or donating supplies to enhance the quality of life for the elderly in a nursing facility.

For example:
  • The Clapp's Library located in the Activity Room is currently in need of Large Print Bibles and The Bible on CD.
  • Sponsor a party by providing a cake or other store bought food item. We currently have a sponsor for our Birthday Bash for the remainder of the year but we have many other social events throughout the year that you could sponsor.
  • Email interesting pictures you've taken when traveling or bring them by on a CD for the Activity Department to use for their Arm Chair Traveler program
  • Donate fresh flowers for the residents to make flower arrangements with.
  • Donate bingo prizes, board games you're no longer using, word search books, crossword puzzle books, cards or craft supplies.
  • Make a donation for live music programs for the residents.

For other ways you can contribute, contact Jennifer Nichols, Activity Director.
