Whether you want to serve a warm meal to hungry survivors or are a retiree seeking training to serve in a skilled leadership position, there is a place for you on our team. We welcome adult volunteers of all ages to serve at varying levels – from time commitments of just a few hours each month to being available at a moment’s notice.

Disaster Fund
In times of disaster, a monetary gift is the best way to offer comfort to survivors, as it allows us to focus on the most pressing need (give to the disaster fund).
