Why Volunteer?

To learn new skills. To meet new people. And to make a difference in someone's life.

Our primary goal at Preferred Care is to make life a little easier, a little more comfortable. When people need help, we're there. But there are a lot of people who need help, and that's why we're asking you to consider being a Preferred Care volunteer. You might:

• Offer support through phone calls and home visits
• Teach our health education workshops
• Tutor at thePreferred Care Wellness Center
• Be a role model to a new mom
• Help with shopping, gardening, laundry and simple home repairs.
• You might even get to take Rover for a walk!

Not sure if you are ready to volunteer?
