Last night, we rolled out the red carpet for some truly incredible stars… our volunteers! ⭐
Our Volunteer Banquet was a beautiful evening filled with laughter, gratitude, and a whole lot of heart. From the decorations to the delicious food and special moments shared, everything came together to celebrate the people who give so much of themselves to brighten the lives of our residents.
Our volunteers are more than helping hands—they are smiling faces, listening ears, and a constant source of joy. Whether it’s leading activities, visiting one-on-one, or simply showing up with kindness, they make a difference every single day.
Our Volunteers of the Year are- Sidney & Mary Hodge, Bill Alexander, Junior & Gidget Kimbell, and Dale Riels! Their years of dedication has not gone unnoticed! We also added a new award, in honor of an amazing volunteer that we lost in June of 2025. The Meagan Maurer Heart of Service Award, awarded to a young person between 13-21. This year was an easy choice, Emily Maurer! 💕
We are so thankful for each and every one of you. Ayers is a better place because of your time, compassion, and dedication. 💛
