- Chore Services in the home

What are the benefits of volunteering?
It’s been said that volunteering leads to better health, strengthens social ties, prevents isolation and leads to greater self worth and trust. (That’s for the volunteer, just think of what it can do for the seniors!)
What does it take to be a volunteer? The desire to make a big difference and build a stronger community.
