Opportunities to Share
The residents and staff of Grandvue benefit from the time, talents, and financial gifts donated by members of the community.
Sharing Time
Volunteers enhance
the lives of our residents by helping facilitate weekly outings, Bingo games, and other group activities and events.
They also assist with nail care, letter writing and other one-to-one activities.
Many of our volunteers fill the role of a special friend for those who make Grandvue their home and provide comfort and companionship by sharing stories and memories.
Younger members of the community ages twelve and up are welcome to join our VolunTeenprogram. After completing training, our VolunTeens assist throughout the year with nail care, pet care, outings, games, and individual activities with our residents.
If you are interested in becoming a Grandvue volunteer or VolunTeen, please contact
Mary Stahl
, Activity Director, at (231) 536-2286.
