Volunteer Services Mission
In an endeavor to support the Sunset Association's mission statement, the Sunset Volunteer Services Department provides a variety of service opportunities for community members, schools, churches, residents, family members and others interested in volunteering.
At Sunset, we strive to provide the highest quality of life for our residents. We believe that in order to better meet the needs of residents, volunteers must be a significant and vital part of our organization. Volunteers provide an added quality of life and touch residents' lives in ways beyond the care provided by staff. Residents benefit in many ways from a volunteer's time and love.
Resident companionship is always our greatest need. Residents love to have a volunteer spending one-on-one time with them, reminiscing, reading, and playing games. While this role is always needed, we do have a variety of volunteer positions available.
If you are interested in using your time and abilities in a Christian environment and want to make a difference for seniors living at Sunset, please contact the Volunteer Services Coordinator at (616) 457-2770.
