This webiste/organization aids in getting individuals closer to the community.I personally have always loved the idea of helping others out.My mentality is basically people are in much more of struggle than i am and if i have the chnace to i would love to do anything in my power to help make even the slightest difference in their lives.That smile you get or that simple hug or thankyou contains so much more value than anything else.Just knowing someone else is happy is truly amazing for me.

I had a great time volunteering for this organization. The coordinator was very pleasant and loved what she was doing. We sang Christmas carols to seniors and you could tell they really enjoyed it. I also met a lot of great people and I hope to work with this organization again during the next holiday season!

What a wonderful way to enjoy part of the holiday! A terrific, warm community of folks with terrific stories and company to share. This opportunity is casually organized, very comfortable and time well spent. I love the diversity of volunteers: kids/teens-older adult, lots of great dogs, folks with instruments--a great mix! This will definitely be a part of my holiday celebrations for years to come.

Once we visited patients at the VA Hospital on Christmas day. One of them was not a veteran - she had flown up from L.A. to donate a kidney to her brother. Here it was, Christmas day, and just three days ago she had a kidney removed. She was still a little doped up, but she was in great spirits. I was so inspired by her. She was the gift.
