Photograph caption dated April 11, 1956 reads "Volunteers aid vet patients.

More than 400 volunteers are bridging gap between hospital and community outside for mentally disturbed men and women patients at Valley institution. Volunteers are taking on tasks vastly different from sparse numbers who manned veterans administration hospitals between World Wars I and II."
