Volunteer Forms
Care Receiver Interactions and Boundary Setting
All agency board of directors, staff, contractors, and volunteers shall receive training before interacting with the elderly, frail, and disabled individuals linked with Hearts & Hands.

I have really enjoyed meeting new people as a volunteer and new Buffalonian. Volunteering has also helped me learn more about my new surroundings. It has really given me a purpose.
