Donate Your Time and Talents

Volunteer at MHCO!  Volunteers are integral members of our communities. Our volunteers enhance the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of our senior residents. We appreciate all our volunteers do – from those who can only donate a few hours on one-time projects to those who are looking for a more long-term opportunity, such as involvement with The Service Group of MHCO.

What role does a volunteer fill at Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio?

Working in conjunction with the MHCO staff, you can share your time and talents in a variety of ways with residents in our senior living communities in Bluffton. Established in 1954, The Service Group continues to provide significant support to our elders. In 2023, more than 300 volunteers contributed 3,000+ hours of their time to our communities.

Some examples of volunteer opportunities on our campuses include:

  • Do you love to talk about God, current events or politics? Put that talent to good use by leading a discussion group.
  • Are you a board game aficionado or love playing cards? We are looking for volunteers to play table games with residents.
  • Is party or event planning your specialty? We need help hosting programs for our residents.
  • Do you play piano or are you a part of a performing group? We’d love to have you share your talents with our residents.
  • Are you an outdoor person who likes to garden, help with weeding or watering?

If you prefer more one-on-one interactions, you could:

  • Read to those with visual impairments.
  • Deliver mail to residents.
  • Deliver Mobile Meals.
  • Pass out evening snacks.
  • Assist elders to chapel for worship.
  • Take photos during activities.

Some of our off-campus volunteer roles include:
