Volunteers are important in helping to serve the daily needs of campus residents. They provide indispensable assistance essential to maximizing the quality of life for many persons in a continuing care community.

Being a volunteer is a way of showing people that you care. Everyone has some skill to offer. The qualifications needed to be a volunteer are simple: dependability, enthusiasm and, above all, love. Individuals can volunteer once a day, once a week, once a month, or once a year - whatever time you have to offer will be greatly appreciated.

Volunteers average a total of 50,000 hours of community service per year to our communities. These hours, offered in many different capacities help the Menno Haven campuses.

Volunteers

Many of our residents, along with volunteers from the Greater Chambersburg Community, support our campus communities by sharing their time and talent. Our volunteers serve residents by taking them to doctor's appointments, physical therapy, wellness centers and the beauty shop. They also help with activities and hospitality greeting. Volunteers can be found driving the campus transportation vehicles and providing office support. Volunteers also serve as store clerks, camcorder operators, ushers, host/ hostesses and many other ways!

Junior Volunteers

Junior volunteers are ages 13-18. Upon completion of orientation, juniors are scheduled and trained to volunteer as transporters, activities assistants, ElderDay assistants, office support, water pitchers deliverers and in many other ways to assist residents and staff.
