Dozens of people were honored at a luncheon at Wynhoven in Marrero. The 30 volunteers were served lunch by the staff at the facility. All of those in attendance are Wynhoven residents who choose to spend their time giving back to the community where they live.







They participate all year long helping with events and other activities at that location. Activity coordinator, Denise Batiste, put together the luncheon with help from staff and of course some of her volunteers. The volunteers were served a lunch of spaghetti with meat sauce, peas, salad and garlic bread. They were also served strawberry shortcake for dessert.








Those who volunteer at Wynhoven say that they do it because it comes from the heart but they are grateful for the recognition. One of the volunteers, Sam, is 97 year old! He says that he enjoys assisting some of the other residents who aren't able to get around that well. Sam is a World War II veteran who enjoys volunteering. We want to thank all of our volunteers who help us help others!
