Make an Impact: Volunteer with Us
The Legacy Senior Communities’ volunteer program was created to fill residents’ days with meaning and joy while strengthening the greater DFW community. We welcome volunteers of all ages at our Plano and Dallas campuses—offering engaging roles in activities like visits, music, games, arts, knitting, outings, and memory-support programming, as well as creative new ideas. In addition, our Legacy at Home division supports hospice clients wherever they call home—meaningful volunteer roles that include companionship, emotional support, and assistance to patients and families during end‑of‑life care. Comprehensive training, background checks, and ongoing support ensure volunteers feel confident and valued in every service we provide. The gift of your time can truly make a lasting difference in someone’s day or life.

We Need Your Support
Stitching for Good
Since 2010, The Legacy Knit & Crochet Club has been crafting handmade items using donated yarn. These items are then distributed to local not-for-profit organizations dedicated to assisting families in need. We kindly request your assistance in our endeavor by contributing medium worsted (#4) yarn in a range of vibrant colors.
