St. John's Lutheran Ministries Volunteer Information
We have a Senior Day Program where elders from the community come to St. John's to spend the day (8:00-4:30 Monday-Friday) while family is working, needs a respite break, etc. The program is staffed with a full-time activity coordinator. We utilize volunteers on a daily basis - they assist the coordinator in visiting with the clients, transporting those in wheelchairs to various activities, serving snacks and lunch, etc. This is a close-knit group of people and an excellent volunteer opportunity. Volunteers can work a variety of shifts - half or whole day, lunch periods, etc.
