A Special Note About Volunteering During The Holidays
Thank you for your interest in positively contributing to the lives of our seniors during the holidays.
We invite you to help add cheer this holiday season by participating in our Sunshine for Seniors program. Through this program you can:
Send a card (store-bought or handmade) with a message of encouragement.
Share an inspirational message or story in a letter
Donate large print puzzle books (Crossword, Word Searches, Sudoku – no jigsaw puzzles, please.)
Our seniors appreciate your heartfelt kindness!

Please note that due to the length of time that it takes to clear a volunteer to be onsite with us, we will not be placing volunteers until 2025. In the meantime, please consider participating in our Sunshine for Seniors program.
Wishing you and yours a bright and merry holiday season!
VOLUNTEERING WITH HEART
Would you like to make a difference in a senior’s life? Are you interested in sharing your heart and bringing sunshine to St. Paul’s Senior Services? Through our Volunteering with Heart Program you can share your time, talent, enthusiasm, and passion with seniors.
We offer volunteer opportunities for both individuals and groups, with a wide variety of opportunities in our residential living sites, PACE clinics, intergenerational care, ministry services and daily operations.
What Do St. Paul’s Volunteers Do?
Volunteers bring value to St. Paul’s in many ways.
You can help with daily events such as arts & craft classes, playing board games, assisting with outdoor games, calling bingo, reading during story time, taking residents for walks, decorating for the holidays, making gift baskets, being a reception greeter, serving food or simply having conversations with our residents and PACE participants.
There are also opportunities for individuals/groups with special talents like teaching Zumba, yoga, painting and singing (and a whole lot more!). Chaperones for fieldtrips to parks, shopping centers, restaurants and picnics are also needed. If you are interested in helping with administrative tasks we could use your help there as well!
