Volunteers – The Lifeblood of Hopewell House
We are so grateful for our teams of volunteer staff who are busily preparing the grounds, training for resident care, crafting quilts and comfort items, and keeping the house clean and functioning for admin staff and construction!
Due to immense community support for Hopewell House we have been inundated with volunteer requests! Check the page below for current resident needs. Our Resident Care Volunteer team is fully staffed for opening.
