In FY21/22, The INN Between welcomed back from the days of COVID lockdowns, 165 volunteers who provided 6,501 hours of service. Being a volunteer at The INN Between means our residents are given equal opportunity to have a surrogate family while living here to recovery medically or living here at the end of life. Residents are given a chance to trust and rely on the kindness of others again. Our volunteers are truly incredible and we appreciate their ongoing commitment to the mission -- and to our residents now and in the future!

Thank you!
