Volunteer Spotlight

Volunteers are the heart of our organization

Every volunteer comes to BVMI with a different history, expertise, skills and expectations. Their experiences at BVMI vary as much as their backgrounds.

No matter what role a volunteer plays, every one is here for the same reason: to help Bergen County’s working, low-income residents get the healthcare they need and cannot afford.

And tissues—plenty of tissues.
