More than 80 individuals attended the release, including County Executive Chris Ronayne.

Volunteering as a guardian gives you the opportunity to meet a need in your community for an at-risk group of people. You will be able to reach out with a caring heart and hand to a person who likely is without family or close friends. 

LMM's own Kendra Daniel and her mother, Louis, are both volunteer guardians. Watch the video below to learn more about their experiences and impact through volunteering as guardians, and click the 'Volunteer' button to get involved.

Men currently incarcerated at Grafton Correctional Institution are taking up a skill with purpose. The individuals involved in the knitting group received a donation of yarn supplied by LMM’s Friend-to-Friend program volunteers and made some beautiful creations!

More yarn is needed for the knitting group. Contact Lynn Schlessman, Friend-To-Friend Program Director, to learn more about how you can donate:
