Volunteers
Volunteers plant
seeds of hope...
Thousands of volunteers reach out in
hundreds of different ways to help homeless and needy people change their
lives. But it's not merely the needy people that are impacted. Just ask
someone who has volunteered at the Mission–they'll tell you that the life
most impacted is their own.
If you are interested in
volunteering for our Current Needs, please submit
an individual or group application at the bottom of this page. Questions or inquiries can be
