Since its inception in 1971, CHEER has relied on volunteers to carry out its mission of providing a variety of services to people in need. CHEER employees and volunteers serve over 30,000 senior citizens living throughout Sussex County every year. Our volunteers provide home-bound meals, transportation to and from medical appointments, companionship for those who have few friends or relatives living nearby, and assistance with the daily operations of our seven CHEER Activity Centers and the Community Center. Without the generosity of our volunteers, we would be unable to continue many of the programs and services that bring comfort and joy to those in need.
