Volunteer Services
Volunteers are the life force of the Fairhaven Council on Aging.
Volunteers provide the hands, brains and heart of our efforts. Anyone is welcome to volunteer.
Volunteers are needed to share their talents and skills. Do you have a skill, special talent or experience you would like to share with our seniors? Would you be willing to provide an informational lecture or workshop?
