Reviews

by Maria I. from Boston, MA (2016-08-18 14:34:35.0)

Mary Girard leads a host of Volunteers that permeate the VA Hospital in West Roxbury, MA. Mary is positive and respectful. I have been volunteering at web services help desk. I have had the opportunity to meet veterans varying in age and expertise. They are a fine example of the women and men that have given themselves for our country's defense. Other volunteers are just as happy. It's a great place to use your gratitude in contributing your time.
