Volunteer Program
Providence Mother Joseph Care Center encourages volunteers to assist with patients in a variety of ways. Orientation and training is provided for all volunteers.

We have special occasion celebrations and activities, such as holiday decorating, birthday parties, holiday celebrations, craft bazaars, picnics, antique car shows—just to name a few—where volunteers play an important role.
