💅 Volunteer for Nail Painting & Companionship – A Simple Touch That Means So Much

1-3 hours / weekly

Do you enjoy pampering others and making people feel special? We’re looking for a kind-hearted volunteer to provide gentle nail painting and companionship for the lovely ladies in our memory care community.
Why It Matters:

•	Comfortable interacting with older adults living with memory loss (no experience needed—we’ll show you the way!)
•	Detail-oriented and happy to take their time with each person
•	16+ (or with parental permission, if younger)
We Provide:
•	Nail polish and supplies 
•	Basic orientation and tips for interacting with individuals with dementia
•	Smiles, gratitude, and lots of appreciation!
