Leamington Mennonite Home & Apartments
Looking to Volunteer?
Volunteers are an enormous part of our community by providing our residents with exceptional services. We are always looking for those who are wanting to get involved! If you would like to donate some of your time and energy, please consider some of these opportunities at the Leamington Mennonite Home.
Hands-on activities provide our residents with mental stimulation - we use Arts & Crafts as stimulation here in Our Home. Participants will require some assistance, which is where volunteers come in.
Crafts take place on Monday and Saturday mornings from 9:00am - 10:30am.
