Our dedicated volunteers are the life-blood of the Center and make everything we do possible. We could not function without the time, energy and commitment they generously provide. Volunteers are of all ages, from teenagers eager to perform community service, to parents with school-aged children, and retirees who now have time and want to give back to their community.

Many of our volunteers work in one of three areas - the Donations Room, the Food Pantry, or the Clothing Boutique- and work alongside one or two other volunteers on the same shift. There are nine three-hour shifts per week: 10 am to 1 pm or 1 pm to 4 pm, Tuesday through Friday; and 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday. Some volunteers dedicate themselves to a regular shift each week, some come more often, and some come once a month. Others fill in when a regular volunteer is unavailable.

Other volunteers participate in the Center's work by teaching English or computer skills, working in our garden, matching furniture donors with recipients, packing school supplies, or assisting in our fundraising efforts. We have many ways you can volunteer; we'll try to find a way that suits your talents and inclinations. We welcome and appreciate all contributions of time and effort.
