Giving is Living


Volunteers are greatly needed to assist our clients Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at all three of our sites in the following ways:

Volunteer opportunities include everything from distributing meal boxes, sorting donations of food and clothing, welcoming clients and evaluating their needs, and even answering phones.
