What Our Volunteers Have to Say…

“My experience as a volunteer has led me down a path strewn with hiding gifts, I expected to give my attention and time. I hoped to make a difference. I did not anticipate the sweet, subtle gifts I would receive in return.”
– The Center for Loss and Bereavement Volunteer
