Believing in the value of the lives of the elderly, we strive to make our Residents as happy as possible. Our Little Sisters and staff do all that they can for the elderly Residents in our home, but a visit from you would truly brighten the day of our St. Augustine Home family members. You too can discover the wisdom and beauty of the elderly through the many volunteer opportunities which exist at St. Augustine Home.
Whether you volunteer to help serve our Residents at meal times, or stroll with one of them in our garden while listening to their life stories, your presence touches the elderly who live here. Volunteering is a wonderful way to share your time and talents with others, and in return, to experience joy yourself as you brighten someone’s day!
Ongoing Volunteer Needs include:
Assisting with activities
Helping in the kitchen
Assisting with serving Residents' meals
Visiting with Residents during the week or on weekends
Driving Residents to and from medical appointments
