Experience the joy of service. 

Volunteers are vital to our daily work to feed, clothe, house and heal people in need. Just as important, we believe that the experience of volunteering is life-giving and life-changing. 

That's why we created a wide range of volunteer opportunities to fit all ages and all lifestyles. In addition, we intentionally foster meaningful service experiences that give both volunteers and program guests the joy of community and connection.

We appreciate your commitment. For any questions requiring a prompt reply, please reach out to us via email at [email protected]. You can also contact our Volunteer Engagement team at 602.261.6886.
