(563) Give your Time
A volunteer is someone who is selfless and focused only on making a difference.
Our volunteers at Regional Medical Center in Manchester, Iowa, make a positive difference in the lives of so many in our community!
Each volunteer chooses the area they would like to help and how much time they volunteer for. Some volunteer as little as a couple times a year and others a couple times a week. Others choose to be a special project volunteer, making baby hats and blankets. Every volunteer matters. Every volunteer makes a difference.
