SHELTON - Wesley Village honored and recognized its dedicated team of volunteers with a week-long celebration during National Volunteer Week, April 6-12.

The Wesley Village Campus, comprised of Crosby Commons Assisted Living Community, Wesley Heights Independent Living Cottages and Apartments, and Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center, is proud to partner with more than 200 registered volunteers each year, ranging in age from 14 to 104.

On any given week, 100-120 active volunteers work in each of the three communities on campus, fostering caring relationships with residents, staff, and family members, and enriching the lives of those they serve.
Celebrations for the special week culminated with a volunteer dinner, held at the campus April 9.
Volunteers honored at the dinner included residents, employees, and members of the community, and those who had reached 100 (or more) hours of volunteer service were presented with a special appreciation gift.
