Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers provide a vital link between the community and residents and enhance the lives of Lutheran Home residents in many ways. We encourage each volunteer to bring his/her unique gifts, talents, and new ideas to share and positively contribute to quality of life for Lutheran Home residents. If you have an area of interest or talent or gift you wish to share please contact the Lutheran Home Activity Manager about Volunteer opportunities.
