HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
By spending time doing activities with our guests, you help them build positive relationships and make good choices about the way they spend their free time.
DESCRIPTION
Volunteers play a big role in providing special, fun activities for our family shelter guests. Bring your favorite crafts, sports, games, and brain power to the shelter and bring a smile to the faces of the kids who are staying here. Help build positive relationships with our guests through homework help and fun activities.
