Fred and Marion Rose don't own a home because they stay on the go.
The natives of Atlantic City, NJ, have been volunteering for 40 years, and they picked up their volunteering pace in 2003 when Fred retired from the US Postal Service.
It was then that they began traveling around the nation to lend a helping hand. They have volunteered at food banks, hospitals, police stations, aquariums and even museums.
They even volunteer at ballparks and went to Biloxi, Miss., to help victims when Hurricane Katrina struck.
They are in the Allsbrook community outside of Loris volunteering now because they wanted to help Derrick and Amanda Suggs get a new home constructed by about 2,000 volunteers for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this week.
The Roses showed up yesterday and today they are directing parking lot traffic and giving away Dino babies-- stuffed animals stuffed with plastic bags. They began creating Dino babies when volunteering several years ago in a children's museum in Oregon.
Even though they volunteer around the country at least three times a week and are in their 50's, the Roses said they will not slow down.
"We are roamers, and we will always be roaming volunteers," said Fred Rose, while directing traffic in a red clown nose given to him by actor Bill Murray during a volunteer stint for the Charleston RiverDogs.
Fred Rose has also been McGruff the Crime Dog.
"We want to feel needed," Marion Rose said, "and there is need here."
