WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

Every day, we connect people who want to help with opportunities to make a difference. Our volunteers give their time, talent and treasure in so many ways to help families and individuals in our community become self-sufficient once again. 

​

You don’t need to donate thousands of dollars or hundreds of hours of service to make a real difference. In fact, a few hours of volunteering can work wonders! Basic kindness can change bad days to good ones and can even transform lives.

“Each time we make room for strangers, we chip away at the fear and isolation and heartbreak in our world. We also get to participate in something that is life giving, both to us and the people we welcome.”
