Can You Get Change for a Smile? You bet you can! At least here, where all our volunteers give a smile and get change back. That change is a stronger community, a new friend, a sense of accomplishment. All it takes is a few hours here or there and the duties are easy, reading and sorting mail, friendly visiting, a little shopping or going for a walk.
