Volunteer time varies from 1-3 hours a week, one time requests, several times a month. Volunteers give when available and are asked to provide service to people in their general geographic locations. The primary funding is through the Hoyt Foundation, Venture Grant, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Other contributors are Botnick Foundation, local congregations and judicatories, nursing home and adult care facilities and individuals. Gifts to honor birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions and memorials are welcome.
Short meditations are optional.
The volunteers are both clergy and non-clergy. We also encourage groups such as youth groups, confirmation classes, children's choirs, small music ensembles and other choirs to participate in this ministry. Schedules are made up for a six-month time frame.
