Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Services
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our agency.
They give their best gift... themselves.
Dedicated volunteers assist and visit older adults, deliver holiday meals, and help coordinate worship services and holiday celebrations. Young children, B'nai Mitzvah students, teenagers, residents of Kinneret, office helpers and Pearlman Pantry assistants volunteer their time and friendship. Kinneret Angels are residents of Kinneret Apartments who assist frailer residents. We have many opportunities for volunteers.

Volunteer activities companions assist older adults with shopping and errands as well as transportation to medical appointments, social and cultural events. They also provide companionship, including home and nursing home visits.
