Volunteering with us

Volunteers are the backbone of Renfrew & Area Seniors Home Support as they are involved in every aspect of the service.

Volunteer Testimonials

• After retiring and moving to Renfrew, my husband and I wanted to give back to our new community. We both enjoy driving and meeting new people, so becoming drivers was the perfect fit. We quickly got to know the area and met so many wonderful people. We enjoy listening to their stories and learning the history of the area. Rita and Steve

• Volunteering with Renfrew & Area Seniors’ Home Support has been the most wonderful experience that I have ever had. It brings me joy and happiness, a feeling of self-worth, also a feeling that I’m helping people, and it feels like a great accomplishment.

• I have enjoyed my experience volunteering. In getting to know my friendly visiting client, I have made a forever friend, who I enjoy connecting with regularly. As I like to tell her, I benefit as much from our relationship as she does. Sherry
