Our Volunteers
Our volunteers represent many diverse backgrounds who all care and want to make a meaningful difference in the comfort and happiness of our residents' lives. Some of our volunteers represent Masonic lodges, chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star, Job's Daughters, Rainbow Girls and DeMolay. Many volunteers, however, are individuals with no particular affiliation to the Order of the Eastern Star or Masonic Community other than a genuine interest in helping mankind.
A volunteer from Peepers Optical comes in once a month to clean and fix all of our residents glasses!
Bruce Thompson is a mailman by day and super musician volunteer at our community at least once a month. He is the residents' favorite musician and they all come when Bruce is in the building.
Opportunities
Through a personal interview, we will ask you to share your motivation for volunteering, time commitment, interests, abilities and skills. Based on your desires and the needs of the Eastern Star Masonic Community, we make every effort to assign you to an appropriate area. You can assist with creative arts, socials, music, special events and programs. By just sitting with a resident, you can provide socialization and reminiscence.
