🌟 April is National Volunteer Month! 🌟

This month, we celebrate the heart of our community—our volunteers. From delivering meals to checking in on neighbors, our volunteers make a meaningful difference every single day. Their time, energy, and compassion help older Vermonters live with dignity, connection, and joy.


Join us in saying thank you to these everyday heroes—and if you’ve ever thought about volunteering, now is the perfect time to get involved. 💛
