VOLUNTEER WITH US
Life-Changing Moments Start Here
Restoring Dignity to Those Who Feel Abandoned. We are a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that values and empowers our volunteers to help restore hope and dignity to vulnerable adults in our community.
By partnering with us, you will help change the lives of those in our community who desperately need connection. Our opportunities are flexible and require little time commitment. We often don’t realize how much even a brief moment together means to someone who is isolated, hurting, and alone.

Fresh produce is delivered weekly from June to September. Bags of produce are delivered free of charge. Pick up is Wednesdays at 12:30 from Helen’s Acres (2424 Mayer Rd).
