Thank you for the opportunity to serve…

“It has always been my joy to help our neighbors, and I know that I receive more from them than I ever give. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.”

— Claire, Volunteer

PWC is a wonderful organization and provides such an important role in our community…

“PWC is a wonderful organization and provides such an important role in our community where so many of our older Neighbors would have to pay for taxis or means of transportation. I see myself continuing to volunteer with PWC in the coming years and hope when the day comes that I may need their services, it will still be around.”

— Marianne, Volunteer

I love volunteering to drive Neighbors to their appointments…

“I love volunteering to drive Neighbors to their appointments, and I love the People Who Care organization.  Someday I will need this service too, so I’m “paying it forward.”  I enjoy talking to the Neighbors and learning where they came from. Everyone thanks me several times for driving them, and it makes my day.”

— Mr. Nystrom, Volunteer

My experience as a PWC volunteer has been life-affirming. 

“My experience as a PWC volunteer has been life-affirming. I am helping so many people live as they wish: at home and independent. Our Neighbors never fail to express their gratitude for providing services to allow them this privilege. For me, it is my privilege to be a PWC volunteer.”
