This is Polly. 🧡

Polly Larson has been volunteering at The Emeralds at Grand Rapids since 2017. She makes handmade birthday cards for every single resident signed "From your Emerald Friends." She helps with Bingo, she comes to the parties, she asks the staff on every visit if anyone needs a little extra care.

She is a Certified Minister, and it shows — not in any formal way, but in the quiet, steady love she brings to every person she encounters. Residents adore her. Staff cherish her. Families are grateful beyond words for the peace she brings.

Polly has been a steady, joyful, deeply human presence at The Emeralds — and she represents something true about volunteers across all of our Monarch communities. If you saw yourself in Sunday's post, that was intentional. This work, and these relationships, are everywhere we look.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week, Polly. You are so loved. 🧡
