“I volunteer because it increases my love for my community and gets me out of my comfort zone.”
“I do it because I truly love to help people!”
– HMS National Junior Honor Society
“I'd missed volunteering and working directly with individuals who have challenges. Volunteering for The Arc Chemung-Schuyler allows me the unique opportunity to combine these things I've missed. I enjoy spending time cooking dinner, baking treats, and completing fun projects with the residents.”
– Heather Grinnell, Residential Program Volunteer
