Time and Talent
Perhaps you have a talent to donate. Singers and musicians provide wonderful enjoyment to our clients during holiday parties and events throughout the year. Volunteers assist by preparing and serving meals and food at special events. Volunteers can also help with field trips and various group social events.
Volunteering can take many forms and we appreciate the time, talents and enthusiasm of our volunteers. Volunteering provides rewarding experiences and opportunities to utilize your skills and talents. Our volunteers work directly with people, serve on our Board of Directors, provide behind the scenes support, help prepare and serve food and provide entertainment at client events, assist with bulk mailings, as well as assist in a wide variety of opportunities. You can volunteer one time, or on a continual basis.

Holiday/Special Events Donations
During the holidays, new gifts for our clients and toys for their children are needed. Throughout the year we are always in need of arts and crafts supplies, computer supplies, and board games. On occasion, we need specialty items like collapsible, portable hand shopping carts.
