Resident Care Volunteers

Volunteering at Hopewell House has been an honor. It opened my heart like no other experience except giving birth. After one shift, I received a note with this quote: "The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle." I keep this on my bookcase to remind me.


Nancy Henry, Friends of Hopewell House Volunteer
