Heart2Heart volunteers are set to begin leading new worship services at two care centers this month.

Residents at The Meridian at Lantana and Lennox on the Lake in Lauderhill now will have access to regular Biblical teaching. The Bible studies are led by volunteers at the recommendation of their respective church leaders.

The worship services fulfill Heart2Heart’s mission to meet the spiritual needs of seniors alongside their physical, emotional and social needs.

If you’re a Heart2Heart volunteer and interested in leading a Bible study or worship service at a care center, please call us at 954-315-2218.

Becoming a Heart2Heart volunteer means that you are dedicated to serving the aging community. It means you want to connect in a meaningful way to a specific individual or to several people. It means you are committed to a consistent amount of time per month – whether that’s several hours a week or just a few hours per month.

Heart2Heart volunteers must be background checked and trained. Our training can be completed from your home on your computer or device, through the online Volunteer Portal. We run fingerprints in our office in Fort Lauderdale, and you can schedule an appointment with us after you finish the training.
