“Volunteering can be an exciting, growing, enjoyable experience. It is truly gratifying to serve a cause, practice one's ideals, work with people, solve problems, see benefits, and know one had a hand in them.” – Harriet Naylor
If you are interested in volunteering at our main office or our family shelter, Pear Blossom Place, we would love to hear from you! There are lots of fun ways you can make a difference in your community, including:
- Volunteer at our Resource Station and help make sure families have access to the supplies they need
- Plan and host an activity for the kiddos, parents, or both, at our family shelter (cookie baking, storytime, crafts, etc.)
- Organize a group to tackle a big project... we have lots to choose from!
- Volunteer at one of our events, let us know you're interested and we will email you when we have an event coming up!
- Host a drive in the community for much needed resources. We are happy to help!
We are always open to other creative ways to engage and utilize volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the inquiry form below or contact Keyla at [email protected].
Brenda Grall has been volunteering for over a year and has found her experience working at the shelter beyond gratifying. “You can't expect change unless you're willing to put the time in” Brenda says. “It can be as big or as little as your heart wants it to be. Make a difference. Put your bias aside”, she says. Volunteering has helped her feel more connected to the realities our neighbors face right here in our community. In her work, she has met a great group of volunteers who share the same mindset. “We're each a speck of sand—we all add our own story and magic to the two hours we spend here.” – Brenda Grall
