“Retirees enjoy volunteering to stay active and maintain a sense of purpose,” said Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Chrzanowski.
“Many of our residents were busy with their careers and raising their families, and did not have the time to volunteer before they came to Charlestown.
“Now that they have more time, they find ways to give back to their community, both here at Charlestown and in the greater Catonsville area.”
