Peninsula Volunteers, Inc
OUR MISSION
We enable seniors to age in place.
These are simple, powerful words that recognize seniors as engaged and independent members of our community. Our professional staff, the Peninsula Volunteers membership, and our community volunteers care for our seniors and their caregivers, providing comfort, learning, and social interaction to help them remain vibrant members of our community.

Little House, The Roslyn G. Morris Activity Center
At Little House, we provide a breadth of services for adults of all ages with a focus on staying physically, intellectually, socially and culturally active. We encourage ongoing independence while staying connected with the larger community.
We provide a way of life based on the belief that no matter what their age:
- People have not done all the things they would like to do
- They have not met all the people they care to know
- They have not contributed all they could to the health and well-being of their community
