🌸 April is National Volunteer Month — a time to recognize the heart and dedication of those who give their time to uplift others. At Elderday, we’re incredibly grateful for the volunteers who bring compassion, connection, and joy to our community. Every Thursday, our loyal and dedicated Elena Sprenger and Gloria Palomo lead our Prayer Circle group from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Their presence is a true blessing to everyone who joins. ✨Elena shares:“My mom came here, and when she passed away, I felt in my heart that I had to do something. I taught catechism to kids for 16 years. After I stopped, I started volunteering with Elderday. This year marks my 13th year with them. I know everyone here, and I really love it. Gloria’s husband used to go to Elderday too before he passed, and now she helps me as well.” It’s stories like these that show how powerful volunteering can be — not just for those receiving support, but for those giving it. 🙋‍♀️ Want to get involved?Learn more about Elderday: communitybridges.org/elderdayOr find out how you can volunteer: communitybridges.org/volunteer ...
