So you have a full understanding of our work, first read everything on this page as well as all of the pages on our website, including THE NEED. Then follow us on Facebook or Instagram, and finally, click the button below to sign up.
At this orientation, you will hear why children in foster care need your help, you will receive a tour of the largest foster closet in the country, and finally, you will meet volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of kids in need.
At the end of the tour, you will have the option to sign up for a volunteer training. If in-person volunteering is not for you, there are many other ways that you can make a difference. Find out how by signing up today!
Note: This adult-only orientation and our volunteer work require periods of standing and moving items weighing up to 10 pounds.
After you have attended a volunteer orientation, you can choose to sign up for a volunteer training.
You will learn how we sort through the amazing treasures our community has donated and stock our free retail store so children and families can shop for everything they need to be successful in life.
This team volunteer activity is for adults only. You are required to have an annual criminal background check at no charge.
We do NOT offer drop-in or in-person volunteer opportunities to fulfill high school or court-ordered community service hours.
Instead, consider doing a fundraiser or hygiene, pajama, sock, or underwear drive to fulfill your hours.
Hosting a drive with your family or at work, church, school, or civic organization is a great way to collect items we need the most. Ideas include birthday and holiday gifts, new socks, underwear, pajamas, hygiene items, coats, hats, gloves, diapers, wipes, and gift cards for teens. Pick an item or two, create a flyer, and make a difference!
From lemonade stands to collecting financial donations at work, school, or your community group, your support directly helps children in foster care.
Some volunteers reach out to churches, schools, businesses, and other organizations, encouraging them to make a financial donation or do a drive.
