Our Resource Center needs volunteers during the weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm. Volunteers assist in helping individuals and families get clothing and food, distribute supplies, do intakes, make referrals and provide assistance to staff. Volunteers must be trained for these positions and are required to agree to a long term volunteer commitment after training.
