Our volunteers enable us to function effectively and efficiently in everything we do, from feeding people experiencing homelessness a hot meal, tutoring students in our after-school program, attending to disasters as they strike, to operating an Angel Tree booth during Christmas.

We know that volunteers choose to donate their time and talents to us, and that does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. We are here to encourage our volunteers, provide them with the tools and training they need, and support them at all times.
