Volunteer

Whether you want to gain a sense of giving something back or be of service to others, we appreciate your interest in helping us. We work to match your available time, skills and desires with our needs and schedules. Also, young people, ages 14 and up are encouraged to volunteer with us during the summer months. Plan to attend a Volunteer Training session soon! We look forward to working with you in the future and welcome your desire to volunteer with us.

Some of the volunteer opportunities include office support, food pick up, preparation, storage, pack and deliver, driving and activities with senior citizens, and holiday and special event assistance as needed. The program areas where you may choose to work include.
