 In order for us to effectively meet the needs of those we serve, the help of volunteers is priceless. Would you consider giving your time and/or resources to help us further the work of our day shelter?
The volunteer opportunities page is designed to provide you with a thorough review of the many ways in which you can impact the lives of others. As you take some time to explore the various opportunities listed in this resource, please give consideration to where to begin serving.
Also, please note that several opportunities listed allow for first serve experiences. These areas of volunteer involvement represent opportunities for you to quickly get plugged into a service area with minimal training or requirements.
If you are interested in learning more about any of these opportunities, please submit the information on the form below to send an email. After receiving your email, a center representative will contact you to discuss how you can serve within your designated area of interest.
God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! Ephesians 3:20 |
