Volunteers Needed

Not sure where to start?  Come spend the most rewarding hour giving back to the community on the first Saturday of each month from 2-3pm as we host a birthday party for residents in a local Arvada nursing home.  We bring cake and socialize with some of the neatest folks you will ever meet.  We celebrate all the birthdays for the upcoming month and hand out Golden Packs to the birthday people.  Your small group or family can host, let us know what month your group is available.  Please, please let me know if you play a musical instrument and would like to share your talents with the residents for one of the parties.  For more info contact us at golden@packsofhope.org.
