Volunteers    The Client

There are many benefits to being a volunteer with Life Essentials. Not only will you impact the lives of those that you serve, but you'll also help to make your community a better place to live. As if that weren't enough, many of our volunteers find that they actually get more out of the experience than the clients that they're working with.

Dean, a Dayton area retirement home resident, loves nothing more than to enjoy the opportunity for good food and some lively conversation. Having limited transportation options, he was not often able to get out into the community. Through the Chums program, Dean is visited weekly by Scott, a computer support technician, who shares his passion for a freshly cooked meal and some good company. Scott says "It's amazing what a difference even a little bit of time can make in someone's life. Our time together is one of the highlights of Dean's week, and I always enjoy spending time with him."
