Volunteering

Where Small Moments Make a Big Difference

How Our Volunteers Bring Joy to Every Day

We love our volunteers because they bring warmth, energy, and genuine companionship into our home. Their presence creates meaningful moments of connection that remind our residents they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for. Whether they are reading, gardening, making music, or simply sitting and listening, our volunteers help foster joy, dignity, and belonging within our community. They are not just helpers. They are an essential part of the heart of Saint Francis.

Volunteer Opportunities

Discover meaningful ways you can share your time, talents, and heart to brighten a resident’s day and make a lasting difference.

Reading to Residents

Share the gift of your voice and a good story. Whether it’s a favorite novel, the daily paper, or a devotional, your time spent reading can spark memories, laughter, and meaningful connection.

Gardening

If you love getting your hands in the soil, you can help nurture beauty that residents enjoy every day. Your care for the garden creates peaceful spaces where friendships and fresh air flourish.

Music (Singing & Playing)

Bring your voice or instrument and fill the halls with joy. A familiar hymn or favorite classic can instantly lift spirits, stir cherished memories, and turn an ordinary day into something special.

Arts & Crafts

Sit side-by-side with residents and create something beautiful together. Your creativity and encouragement can help them express themselves, try something new, and feel a renewed sense of accomplishment.

Outdoor Visits

Simply spending time outdoors together can mean the world. Join a resident for a walk, fresh air, or quiet conversation under the sun. Your presence makes the moment brighter.
