2020 was a tough year for everyone, but out of it came many blessings.
________________________________________________________________________
The biggest blessing was the overwhelming support from
volunteers, community sponsors and continued donations.
Quiet Oaks could not fulfill our mission without each and everyone of you!
________________________________________________________________________
With that said, we're designating 2021 as our "Better Together" year,
making a difference in our community...TOGETHER!

Cheryl Boesche, Volunteer
Hometown: Glencoe, MN, currently residing in St. Cloud, MN
Family: Husband - Brian, Son - Josh and 2 grandchildren - Mason and Ellie
Hobbies: Spending time at our lake cabin, golfing, being with family and friends. Most of all love spending time with the grandkids.
Why Volunteer at QO: I was looking for something different to do after I retired. Quiet Oaks was something I was not sure I would be comfortable with but once I saw how beautiful and peaceful it was I knew I had to give it a try. Quiet Oaks' staff is amazing and great to work with. I have been a volunteer at Quiet Oaks for 4 years now and still enjoy my time there.
