Volunteer at Pioneer Resources
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~Winston Churchill
Due to Covid-19, volunteering looks a little bit different at Pioneer Resources right now. Opportunities for volunteering will require wearing a mask, social distancing of 6 feet or more, and completing a Covid-19 screening prior to each time volunteering. Give us a call or email today to see what volunteer opportunities are available!
Helping Others
Volunteering is defined as helping others on a regular basis. This can be serving food in a soup kitchen or reading to the blind. Research tells us that volunteering can reduce early mortality rates by 22%, compared to those in people who don’t participate in such activities. A study published in BMC Public Health, also revealed that volunteers benefit from reduced rates of depression and an increased sense of life satisfaction and well-being — “doing good, it seems, made them feel good”.
The volunteers of Pioneer Resources love what they do! We have had 100+ staff from Herman Miller come to Pioneer Trails to labor and give of their time and talents to spruce up and repair buildings. Together we have experienced that doing good work for others can make us feel good!

- Filing in the office
- Reading to clients
- Assist with pushing wheelchairs on an outing
