Volunteer to Make a Difference
Are you driven by the desire to improve the lives of others? Volunteers have a unique opportunity to directly affect the lives of those we serve through the gifts of their time and talents. Our volunteers enhance the range and quality of services we are able to provide, and we are grateful.
You may choose to volunteer as an individual or as part of a school, church or civic group. Volunteers are welcome for once-a-year special events as well as for more regular commitments on a weekly or monthly basis. Whatever amount of time you have to give will be a blessing to the lives you touch.
