"I've been delivering Meals on Wheels with my friend Daisy for ten years. We especially enjoy visiting Marilyn. She can't get out because she's in a wheelchair. She's always waiting for us with a smile and we make sure to stop and chat with her. What a great feeling it is to know that you've made someone's day!" - Fil, Meals on Wheels volunteer

Meals on Wheels
Each day volunteers from our Meals on Wheels program deliver nutritious meals and goodwill to the doorsteps of seniors and disabled individuals who are unable to shop or prepare their own food.
Hospice and Bereavement Volunteers
Our hospice and bereavement volunteers play an important role in enhancing our patients’ quality of life to the greatest extent possible by helping them live at home more comfortably with their loved ones. Hospice volunteers can provide precious respite time to weary family members and offer comfort and support to patients simply by being there. Bereavement volunteers support grieving families through in-home visits, phone calls and support groups. All volunteers will receive special training, ongoing education and supervision.
Corporate Volunteer Programs
Nutritious meals are delivered to almost 1,000 people each day thanks in part to the manpower and dedication of our corporate volunteer teams. Contact us to find out how your business or organization can give back to the community by assisting VNA Health Care.
Office Volunteers
Volunteers are always needed to help out with various tasks in our Cheshire, Glastonbury, Hartford, Southbury, and Waterbury and Windsor Locks offices. You can work with any of our departments on a variety of projects — all at your own convenience. This is an excellent opportunity for retirees who want to remain active in the community.
Internships
Work for one of Connecticut’s largest non-profit organizations. If you are a high school or college student, you can apply for internship positions in one of several departments. Call for details and open positions.
