“Volunteering has given me purpose and allowed me to help others. I just can’t believe how many interesting and talented people live here! Someone may need a walker, however, in their former life danced with the Philadelphia Ballet Company.” – Anne M.

“Everyone is so appreciative, thankful, and grateful when you pick them up and get them home safely home, BUT, I feel like I am the winner! I have just met someone new. I love volunteering with Staying Connected. Perhaps there will come a day when I will need a ride to an appointment or the grocery store and I will be on the receiving end and grateful to the person who comes to pick me up.” – Cheryl R.

“The best things about volunteering for Staying Connected in Home Maintenance is that I enjoy meeting new and interesting people, seeing all the different areas in Sun City, and most of all, seeing the smiles on the faces of our members.” – Jeffrey P.

“I was attracted to Sun City by the advertised ‘Active Adult Community’ concept. What I have come to love about Sun City is that it’s a ‘Caring Community.'”

“By lending a helping hand I not only make my neighbors day a little easier, but I form a connection with them.”

“Through the experience I learned that helping one’s neighbor not only benefits them but also enriches our own lives. It fosters a sense of community, compassion and empathy.”

“I try to volunteer at least once per week and look forward to each assignment, it’s the highlight of my week. The people I meet are fascinating and I love hearing stories about their lives and what brought them to Sun City.”

“I encourage everyone to look out for their neighbors and offer a helping hand. The benefits extend far beyond the immediate act of assistance, It creates a stronger, more caring community for all.”
