Volunteers Volunteerism is the absolute backbone of this non-profit agency. We salute the volunteers who have donated thousands of hours to supplement our small part-time staff and who help us to fill the tremendous community need for cancer support services. With over 650 clients served per month, volunteers are essential to help us keep these services available. Clinical Volunteers Facilitators: We require a master’s degree in Counseling or an MSW in Social Work and we supply you with incomparably rich experiences in working with cancer survivors. Plan to give us 6 hours a month for a year and it will be one of your most rewarding years. Please contact Su Murdock, Clinical Director, if you are interested in donating your professional services. Phone: (203) 790-6568, Ext. 101. E-mail: su@annsplace.org
 Special Events Volunteers The Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse teams from Western Connecticut State University formed a partnership with Ann’s Place to move and set up 100 trees, a gift boutique and more for our annual Festival of Trees in November 2009s! Since then, they have also helped with moving tile deliveries for our new facility. Thanks for your great teamwork!

Volunteers also rotate in our office as half-day receptionists, process mass mailings, and do special projects that come up from time to time. A kind voice answering the phone on a busy day frees up our counselors who are in meetings with clients. Computer skills are very helpful for some projects as well.
