A Word from Sally About Volunteering
There is a tremendous amount of record keeping and reporting that COC must provide to Federal, Michigan, Wayne County and other agencies. Doing simple tasks like filing and organizing reports take a lot of time, time that the staff doesn’t have. Since I like doing clerical work, I am happy to take some of the workload pressure off the staff members so they can provide more direct care to the residents.”
