Volunteers sought The volunteer nursing home outreach program, Grow- ing Relationships and Making Memories, is seeking vol- unteers to form relationships with socially isolated nursing home residents. Many nursing home residents have no one to visit them. Similar to a Big Brother/Big Sister philosophy, GRAMM builds individual relationships through activities such as sharing stories, playing games, reading, watching sports/ television, sitting outside, writing letters, or just offering companionship. GRAMM is seeking volunteers who can visit one hour a week for eight weeks. The program is held at the Allendale Nursing Home in Allendale.
