Our volunteers help
maintain a supportive and compassionate environment. They are
essential to reducing the isolation many of our clients
experience.
Each month more than 550 volunteers contribute over 1,700 volunteer hours. Forty service groups from local churches, businesses, and groups participate. The Meals Program is entirely staffed and supported by volunteers who provide more than 120 meals per day. Medical volunteers provide free health care services for our clients through Rotacare, a medical clinic supported by the Fremont Rotary and Tri-City Health Clinic.

Crossroads Church has committed to donating $1000 each year to Abode on Mother's Day.]
