MVES Seeks Volunteers

Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) is seeking volunteers who have a passion for giving back to the community, and the skills, knowledge and temperament (empathy, compassion and patience) to volunteer in their program of choice.  MVES volunteers donate their time to perform a variety of tasks such as serving nutritious meals to elders at local meal sites, participating in our Social Engagement program, acting as money management and SHINE counselors, and leading our Healthy Aging programs. Volunteers are essential to the success of MVES, helping older adults and adults with disabilities live independently.

National Volunteer Week—April 17-23, 2022—celebrates the impact volunteers have on our lives and encourages active volunteerism in generations to come. During this week, and all year long, we salute our volunteers for their unwavering services to our agency and communities and hold aloft their examples to inspire everyone towards volunteerism.

National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize the impact of volunteer service and the power of volunteers to tackle society’s greatest challenges, to build stronger communities and be a force that transforms the world. Each year, we shine a light on the people and causes that inspire us to serve, recognizing and thanking volunteers who lend their time, talent and voice to make a difference in their communities.
