Our volunteers help make the Heritage at Lowman the great place it is to live. Some help with various administrative and clerical tasks, others assist in planning or leading events to involve residents, and still others assist residents with important tasks.
Many of our volunteers have forged friendships with residents and staff and become lifelong Heritage at Lowman family members.
