Volunteers can also help by bringing an activity to the residents. By participating in fun experiences, the residents can make new friends, learn new skills, and thrive again as they work towards independence. The possibilities are endless – give us an idea and we’ll help you make it possible!
You can help by preparing a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) off-site and serve to the residents. There are a variety of available dates throughout the year. You can serve a meal one time or regularly.
The residents of Tender Mercies are always in need of household items and supplies to make their home more welcoming and comfortable. Donating items on our Wish List is much appreciated by the residents as they regain stability and learn the skills needed to regain independence and self-sufficiency.
Opportunities include office support, special events, volunteer cook, direct client support and others.
To get involved, you can organize your own cleanup event or you can volunteer for an existing project. We work with communities & thousands of volunteers to pick up litter, plant flowers, paint buildings, clean illegal dumpsites, landscape, remove graffiti, and more!
