    • Good listeners who enjoy connecting with others
    • Comfortable spending time with people and families during meaningful moments
    • Willing to complete required volunteer training
    • Able to commit to regualr visits

    Whether you have a few hours a week or simply want to give your time to something meaningful, your presence can make a lasting difference.

    If you;re looking for an opportunity to give back, connect with others, and bring companionship and kindness to someones day, we would love to have you join the Ancora Health Services volunteer team!
