Volunteer must be able to handle and push residents in a wheelchair. Some residents maybe able to walk with someone alongside of them but most are in wheelchairs. Volunteers must also enjoy being with the elderly.
Pontoon outings are on Monday & Wednesdays starting at 1:00 - 3:00 and fishing outings are on Wednesday mornings starting at 10:00 a.m. - noon.
