• The Support Team is a group of volunteers working together to offer practical, emotional, and spiritual support to individuals and families with health care concerns or other special needs.
• The team's activities may include transportation to the doctor or grocery store, household or yard chores, errands, meals, social outings, visits, phone calls, or a time for caregivers to have a respite or break. Team members simply do what they can, when they can, but in an organized way.
