Our volunteers include senior citizens, students, retirees, homemakers and young professionals who contribute more than 47,000 hours each year to Bayhealth. They transport patients, run errands, type and file, greet patients at our information desks and staff our gift shops, among many other responsibilities.

Neighbor-to-Neighbor
The award-winning Neighbor-to-Neighbor program provides free services for people over 50 who live in the greater Dover and Milford areas. Services include light grocer shopping, transportation to doctor appointments, telephone reassurance and other light in-home services. Neighbor-to-Neighbor also coordinates the Cherub Program, providing clothing for needy babies born in our hospitals. We are always looking for light-colored yarn to make baby afghans, and we welcome financial donations so we may purchase yarn. Volunteers who can crochet or sew items are always needed. Please call (302) 744-7466 to learn more.
