What the volunteers are saying about
the Center…
Volunteering
at the Cooperative Care Center has brought pleasure to my
life I might otherwise have missed. Although each weekday
may have a different “crew” to interact with,
without exception, members are pleasant and cordial. Over
twelve years, I have grown to know and love them. The work
I do is of my own choice: typing records. Working at my own
pace rather than controlled by a time clock is comfortable
for me. When needy clients fill the waiting area, I pitch
in to help wherever I can. The real payoff is not money, success
or status. The truly important aspect is the feeling of serenity
that comes from having given back something in repayment for
the many blessings received from unknown others. And being
a volunteer has restored my feelings of personal worth and
being a  valued
contributor to the world around me.
