You can enhance the quality of life for Kristus Darzs residents by volunteering. Our goal is to offer family centred care in a ‘home like’ atmosphere. The staff, volunteers, and board, work together to provide resident and family centred care in a nurturing environment. We believe volunteers help create this atmosphere with their many special skills.

We are thankful to all our volunteers who have dedicated so much time to our residents and to our Home!
Your volunteer support will continue to make a difference…
There are many residents who would benefit from a “friendly visit”, a visit that caters to their special needs: A kind word, a listening ear, a stroll, reading a letter or just holding someone’s hand. Special bonds can be created, that can last a life time.
The gift of music is a very important part of Kristus Darzs residents lives. Our residents live through the songs and music of their youth. Traditional Latvian folk songs and music bring joy to their lives. Musical people who can sing or play an instrument are always welcome to help us give the gift of music to our residents.
Kristus Darzs is a natural paradise. The residents are able to enjoy our beautiful plush gardens outside and atrium garden inside. Anyone with a green thumb and a strong back is welcome, to help us keep these gardens beautiful.
