Volunteer

Make a Difference in the life of a senior

Volunteers are the reason our Agency has been successful since opening in 1980 and the reason we are able to continue to offer seniors, and those with disabilities or special needs of any age, a variety of programs and services designed to encourage independent living and enhance quality of life. ABMSH Agency continues to grow, and so does the need for volunteers. Please refer to this link: Seniors Volunteering Brochure to see all of the volunteer opportunities at Seniors at Home Program Inc.

There are many reasons why people volunteer but most volunteers will tell you that they feel that they benefit just as much from their experiences as do the people they serve. If you have some time to give as a volunteer, why not contact us and start the application process today.

Volunteer testimonials

I find volunteering extremely rewarding and it gives me a warm sense of purpose when the recipients express their appreciation and gratitude – Roger

Driving for the Arnprior Seniors at Home Program has made me feel like I am a true part of this community. I’ve taken clients to routine doctor’s appointments, to surgeries, and even to their last cancer treatment appointment! I’ve experienced countless wonderful conversations, I’ve had clients teach me, tell me about their lives, bake me bread, or offer to treat me at Tim’s. And every single one of them is grateful and appreciative of my volunteered time. This, all while providing a valuable service to the community – one that I’m sure I will also appreciate in the future when I’m the one in need of rides to the city! – Brigitte
