Families face significant challenges when tragedy unexpectedly strikes. Having volunteers delivering meals, running errands or offering a simple act of kindness is worth more than words can say. Recipients of care include people in a temporary crisis such as illness, major surgery or sudden tragedy or accident. Non-medical services consist of, but are not limited to:  delivering meals, running errands, driving patients to and from medical appointments.
