Messiah Lifeways® Volunteer

“On my first day volunteering at Messiah Village, I was a bit intimidated by the size of the campus. However, all the team members and residents were super kind and accommodating to any questions I had. My main role is to take residents, who rely on wheelchairs to get around, outside for walks. This has allowed me to have many meaningful conversations and interactions with the residents. Those interactions with residents and team members made me feel right at home here. I look forward to volunteering at Messiah Village every week.”

Here Are Some Examples Of How You Can Help As A Volunteer:

Quilting

Messiah Lifeways at Messiah Village Offers opportunities for anyone who quilts or would like to learn quilting techniques. There is also an active quilt guild at Messiah Village. Guild meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 1:00 pm. Our quilt studio contains two large quilting frames for those who like to hand quilt. Many quilters are also busy at home making quilts and other stitched items which they donate to the guild. All items donated to the guild are sold directly from the quilt studio, gift shops on campus, and at several special sales throughout the year. Monies earned from the sale of quilts and other stitched items benefit the Messiah Village Auxiliary. Please contact the Volunteer Office if you would like more information about the guild or quilting opportunities at Messiah Village.
