Immanuel Serve
Making a difference together
Immanuel SERVE is our volunteer program, designed to bring joy, connection, and purpose to seniors across Immanuel communities and Immanuel Pathways PACE® centers. Volunteers help create moments that matter, whether sharing a smile, leading an activity, or simply being present.
Our Mission
Christ-centered service through volunteerism
Serving Nebraska since 1887, Immanuel was founded as a Lutheran ministry focused on care, compassion, and community health.
At Immanuel, service is more than an action; it’s a calling. Guided by our mission of Christ-centered service to seniors, each other, and the community, Immanuel SERVE encourages volunteers to live out compassion and care in meaningful ways.
Why volunteer?
Enhance the lives of others – and your own
Volunteers are the heartbeat of Immanuel. Your time and talents bring joy and comfort to seniors, support our dedicated team, and strengthen the sense of belonging in our communities. While making meaningful connections, contributing to the community, and learning new skills, every hour you give makes a lasting impact.
Whether you have an hour each week or a few days a month, your contribution matters. There’s a role for every interest:
- Lead or assist games or activities
- Share hobbies and talents
- Offer companionship and conversation
- Support special events and programs
