Lake Prince Woods Senior Community takes time to give back to its community through volunteering.

More than 10,000 volunteer hours were served by Lake Prince Woods volunteers in 2017. About 58 residents at Lake Prince Woods volunteer within as well as outside of the community. The community volunteers take on tasks including but not limited to participating in life enrichment programming, working in the gift shop, singing in the Golden Voices choir and Gospel Choral, crocheting hats for the local hospital, visiting health care residents, leading Bible studies, serving as hostess in the dining room and serving on a variety of committees.

There are 15 volunteers from the greater community who assist in health care, assisted living and Memory Care. These volunteers participate in pet therapy, serve as musicians at the Sunday Vesper services, and assist the health care life enrichment department.

“We volunteer because we love giving back,” said resident Louise Perkins. “I would want someone to do the same for me.”
