What our members say about our fabulous volunteers...
"Helen, I'm writing to let you know about another good volunteer session. We just got a new computer, and needed help on some manipulations. I was put in contact with [Volunteer], who spent a good hour here and was a very good help. Thanks to NSV!"
– S.G., January 6, 2011
"[Volunteer] has just completed his task of removing the hard drive from my obsolete computer. What a wonderful device this organization is!"

"Helen, Thank you! This is a fabulous service. It's great if someone can get her to her OT appointments. This is so helpful. Yes, she said she really enjoyed the party. Thank you!"

"[Volunteer] repaired a wall-mounted electrical fixture for us yesterday and did a great job. He was on time, friendly and even insisted that he sweep up afterwards. Thanks to [Volunteer] and to NSV."

"[Volunteer] picked me up to take me for my doctor's appointment. She was on time, waited over an hour at doctor's office and brought me home. She was so kind and considerate. How lucky to be a member of The Village!"

"[Volunteer] fixed my stereo completely with all the components. He knew exactly what, where, and how to! So very impressed and so grateful to have all the components to use again! Bravo Village!Thank you!"
– C.C., July 14, 2010
"I wanted to report that [Volunteer] went way beyond what she had been led to expect when she drove me to my retinologist last week. The appointment took almost twice as long as usual, and then I needed a prescription filled right away, so she drove me to Osco and waited there for me, doing a little shopping. Besides being a real trooper, she is also very interesting for her experience as a hospice nurse. Thanks to her and to NSV for that ride!"
– L.L., August 4, 2010
"[Volunteer] came over this evening and fixed my fence! I am thrilled!"
- E.R., August 16, 2010
"How wonderful it was for [Volunteer] to come and take me to the doctor this morning. She was most courteous and kind. I'm so glad I got in contact with your group. You are one in a million."
– V.C., December 21, 2010
"It has been a godsend. I especially appreciate that the Boy Scouts work in teams. They came after the Christmas snowfall and made an amazingly clear pathway for me to get to my garage. I'm eternally grateful."
– L.C., December 29 2010
"My home was one of the few on the block that had cleared paths. What a great service!"
