And all of our Wonderful Volunteers
who make it
Happen!
“Volunteers are unpaid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless”
The center is operated by two paid part time staff and many volunteers who serve our center each week.
*In 2020 over 179 unduplicated volunteers gave 4,217 hours of their time to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Volunteers are always needed to serve as helpers in the Food Pantry or Clothes Closet. The Storytime program always welcomes volunteers, and instructors are always needed for our classes.
