Make An Incredible Difference!
Volunteers are at the heart of our Kline Galland community. For over a century, Kline Galland has been devoted to providing exceptional care, and our volunteers have brought the gift of compassionate support and enhanced quality of many lives.
Last year, 500+ individuals volunteered over 9,000 hours of direct support to our residents, hospice patients, families, and teams. We partner with multiple community groups and schools to bring Intergenerational events, such as: arts, landscaping, music, dance, and meaningful engagement. Together, we continue to grow in 2026!
When you volunteer with Kline Galland, you are an integral and valued part of a skilled and caring team that is dedicated to a truly meaningful cause. Each individual volunteer makes a great difference.
Volunteering at Kline Galland is an extremely rewarding experience. You can share your interests, experiences, and hobbies through a wide variety of volunteer opportunities:
- Offer companionship by being a friendly visitor.
- Showcase your talents and passion in music, storytelling, or multimedia.
- Be a helping hand or lead in a variety of life enrichment activities (ie; Bingo, Board/Card games, Arts and Crafts, etc.) at Kline Galland Home and/or Mary Schwartz Summit.
- Take part in offering pet visits or instrumental music, which is sure to brighten everyone’s day.
- Support patients and families through their end-of-life journey with our Hospice Team.
- Engage in one-to-one life review conversation or legacy work.
