Several volunteers at MMH are university students
Several Bluffton University students volunteer at the Mennonite Memorial Home. As part of their class requirements, especially in the social work arena, students volunteer from 10 to 15 hours.
MMH and Maple Crest have several students doing a variety of activities which include decorating the bulletin boards, calling BINGO, passing out water to residents, cleaning bird cages, serving refreshments and playing games with residents.
The picture is of the bulletin board in MMH on Maple Hall. It was decorated by Bluffton University, Sami Lawrence. Her semester of volunteering will have her decorating this board on a monthly basis. Her creativity has captured the attention of both staff and residents, according to Mary Ann Ring, volunteer coordinator.
