Knollcrest Lodge & Community Outreach is always looking for volunteers!

Volunteers form a vital part of our services to the community.  Volunteers are involved in many ways... bingo nights, eye glass cleaners, one to one visitors, fundraisers, delivering Meals on Wheels, and driving clients to appointments just to name a few.

We are very proud of our 200 volunteers who have contributed over 6,100 tracked hours of volunteer time in 2007.  Our volunteers provide us with the "gift of time".  Everyday there are people who volunteer their time endlessly and we are so very thankful of them. 

Our volunteer population consists of men and women of all ages - youth, student's, adults and older adults.

Are you recently retired, want to keep involved, or have an extra hour a week to spare...?  Volunteering with our organization is a wonderful opportunity.

Please see the attached volunteer opportunities that are available within Knollcrest Lodge & Community Outreach Services.
