Volunteering and COVID-19

VON is committed to ensuring the safety and health of all our volunteers, clients and employees during the pandemic. We have taken steps to protect those giving and receiving care, including additional training and education and providing required PPE. Volunteer support is critical during the pandemic as we simply couldn’t offer the same level of personal support in the community without the power of volunteers.

The drive might only be 10 minutes or half an hour, and the clients open up their lives to me. The majority are very gracious and uplifting, and they tell me about their kids, families and their careers. Many are so grateful and thankful that they have this service available to them.
