Volunteer Opportunities
Our employees may be the “brains” behind our success, but our volunteers are the heart and soul. Volunteers like:
- Ted McFarland, a retired Bell South technician who delivers meals twice a week to home-bound seniors.
- Wayne Ryan, a Clemson student who teaches computer classes.
- John and Beulah Chips, a retired couple who helps with day-to-day operations at our senior center.
- Mrs. Martin, a retired homemaker who leads a weekly Bible study.
- Naimah Abdullah, a holistic practitioner who teaches yoga.
- Boulevard Baptist Church, whose members drop off fresh-baked goodies for our day care.
So what is your talent? Perhaps it’s teaching a new class at a senior center or simply providing food for a social. No talent is too big or small to contribute. No amount of time is too much or too little to help make a difference. Call us today and become a part of our volunteer team.
