Indirect service includes off-site projects such as running food or supply drives, preparing and delivering meals, or putting together hygiene or other kits for our residents. Because of its scheduling flexibility, indirect service is ideal for youth groups, business teams, or other large groups.
We often need help with other areas such as administration, event planning, fundraising, community outreach, yard work and maintenance, writing, and marketing. If you’d like to help in any of those areas, we’d love to have you volunteer with us.
Groups can also help by coordinating donation drives. The families we work with have a wide range of needs beyond housing. You can help families directly by donating clothing, household items, and gift cards.

Our Board of Directors is a vital part of our organization – helping guide us, our work, and our fiscal responsibility to deliver the most impact we can. We are always interested in having others join our dynamic board.
