Volunteer

Friendship takes time. Spend some here.

There are wonderful people living with us at Hattie Ide Chaffee Home and we’ve been asked if there’s a way others can spend time with them. We think that’s a great idea!

You’d be surprised and delighted to know the pasts, thoughts, and opinions of our Residents. They have so much to share while they learn about you — a wonderful foundation for true friendship and community.

Age isn’t important! And whether you are a high school student, middle aged person or a senior, you are all welcome to become part of our Hattie Ide Chaffee family by becoming volunteers. It’s a situation where you both learn, grow and often end up feeling good about life.

We encourage you, your group, club or organization to spend time with our residents to assist with our programs already in place, help serve meals, read aloud, play cards, or simply talk, enjoying each other’s company. You may have special skills or activities to bring to the Hattie Ide Chaffee Community, which is great, but not required. The most important element is time. A couple of hours a week can change your life and theirs.
