The activities of the Geriatric  Care Center and those of its residents are diverse and are highly supported by ECC volunteers. The residents are in great need of the social support, friendship, and recreational activities that are offered by the center's staff with the help of our volunteers.

Volunteers began their activities in the Health Establishment of the Druze Community in 1995 at the Elderly Care Center. Two dentists started their volunteer work but this expanded in 1998 to include all aspects of care such as social and leisure activities in addition to assistance with personal care.

Currently, the center is supported by 50 standby  volunteers and 15 On weekly basis who help residents individually, organize or assist in trips in the community, and arrange for birthday parties for residents at the center. They help in organizing and conducting the festivities in June for Grandparents Day through a program designed to provide elders in the community and from nursing homes from all over Lebanon with a variety of recreational activities, as well as lunch and other cultural activities.
GMC is in great need for more volunteers who would be dedicated to the center and would be willing to be part of the life of our residents, through regular activities in and outside the center, through the organization of festivities and through fund raising. Examples of such activities include: reading to residents, video presentations, feeding patients, garden activities, trips, pets, singing, games, holiday festivities, and fund raising.
