What is the HEAT Program?

​

The HEAT (Homecrest Elderly Action Team) Program is a volunteer initiative designed specifically for older adults. Our mission is to offer meaningful volunteer opportunities that not only enrich the lives of participants but also strengthen and support the local community. The program is designed to meet the unique needs, preferences, and abilities of older adults, ensuring that every volunteer experience is both accessible and rewarding. Through HEAT, we strive to foster a sense of connection and belonging among older adults while benefiting the community at large.
