Your volunteering hours can be flexible and any help would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, Mary Manning Walsh’s volunteering numbers are well below pre-Covid levels and the residents could really use our assistance and support.
There is a NY State Volunteer Application requirement that involves some medical information and immunization requirements, along with other general information. Please note, all of the ArchCare facilities have recently lifted the onsite Covid testing requirements.
If you are interested or have questions about the volunteer opportunities or application requirements, please contact Steve Bujno, KM (stevebujno1@gmail.com) or Joe Mangan, Year of Formation (jhmangan@gmail.com).
