Brighten a senior’s life this holiday season! The time and talents
of Pennsylvania’s 2.7 million adults over the age of 60 are among
our commonwealth’s greatest untapped resources. Volunteer
opportunities exist for people of all ages and levels of physical ability.
The benefits of volunteering go beyond the good feeling that comes
from helping others; it’s also a chance to make new friends. Visit the
website for more information.
Take some time this holiday season to pay tribute to a veteran in
need. Volunteers provide many important functions throughout
the medical center and help make the patients’ stay more enjoyable.
Volunteers can perform a number of services, and a volunteer’s
