Heartline and Heart House depend greatly on our volunteers. We were established by volunteers, we are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and it is through our volunteers that we are able to offer hope and change lives.
We have numerous volunteers throughout the week and weekend, days and evenings, who serve faithfully to help oversee and care for our residents and clients. As well, we have numerous volunteers who give their time and gifts to assist with our fundraisers and special events. Without these volunteers, there would be no Heartline and Heart House. We each hold a different piece to the puzzle. Each piece is different and unique and serves a very specific purpose. Heartline and Heart House greatly depend on the dedication and selflessness of individuals who willingly place their piece of the puzzle into the grander picture. Only when we connect our pieces can we together create a brighter future for those in our community.
