Over 700 Holland Home volunteers spend nearly 36,000 hours each year engaged in serving others at one or more of our vibrant communities. Our volunteers assist us in fulfilling our mission each and every day through their selfless and dedicated service. We welcome the opportunity to meet you and would be honored to serve alongside of you.
I do some volunteering over in the Manor at Raybrook, and I am just amazed and thankful for the compassion and the concern and the care that residents receive over there. It's beautiful to see.
—Susan B., Raybrook Resident
