Heart of the Valley produces an Enewsletter in addition to a quarterly manual newsletter. The Enewsletter is published every other month on our website and sent out to those Email addresses in our database. We believe this could be a very helpful tool in communicating with our volunteers, seniors, donors and fellow agencies.
This is an opportunity that can the volunteer can do at home after the initial on site review and orientation with the Volunteer Coordinator. There is no requirement for a minimum or maximum number of hours.
Heart of the Valley has three part time staff people and everyone else is volunteer. We have a tremendous respect for the dedication of our volunteers - we would not have an agency without volunteers!

During the pandemic, we continued to provide our outdoor services, as we ramped up our Friendly Caller program to all seniors who called in, our Vaccine Angels scheduled vaccination and transportation appointments, to and from vaccination sites, and ordered COVID test kits, high school students wrote pen pal letters, and our volunteers made sure our clients had very happy holidays.
HOV began In-Home services in May, 2022 and Medical Transportation in March, 2023 and is fully open, providing services to our growing list of seniors.
