HOME Volunteers Creed
Let us join together to educate and serve the members of our organization and the community.
Let us be aware of and be concerned for each other.
Let us do all things in a caring manner and with true enjoyment.
We truly believe in the home and community involvement that living in a free country allow us.
May our examples provide a beacon for others to follow and may our efforts ensure a future for HOME Volunteers everywhere.Carolyn Mayo, Author
