National Volunteer Week 2025: Volunteers Make Waves
At Menno Place, we’re celebrating our incredible volunteers who truly make waves in the lives of our residents every day. Together, we create ripples of change that transform our community.
Our 100 active volunteers have already contributed nearly 2,000 hours in 2025, bringing joy, comfort, and support through countless meaningful interactions.
Whether they’re portering residents to activities, assisting recreation programs, offering rehabilitation support, or providing pastoral care, their dedication creates a vibrant, caring environment for everyone.
Our volunteers bring their talents to:
- Birthday celebrations that spark joy and connection.
- Arts and crafts sessions that inspire creativity.
- Active games that encourage movement and laughter.
- Walking programs that promote wellness.
- Devotional gatherings that nurture their spiritual lives.
- Compassionate palliative visits that provide comfort.
The ripple effect of these acts of kindness extends far beyond the immediate moment, creating lasting positive change throughout our community. This National Volunteer Week, April 27 – May 3, we recognize and celebrate each volunteer whose generous spirit helps make our community a place where everyone can thrive.
Thank you for making waves and creating ripples of change!
