    Help Set Up a Child's Bedroom

    When a child is coming out of homelessness or placed with a relative struggling with poverty, they often arrive with nothing. You can change that.

    Join us to create a safe, welcoming bedroom—set up a brand-new bed, add cozy bedding, paint the walls, and decorate.

  • A group of volunteers holding a flag string saying "Give Thanks" and standing behind two boxes of donations.

    Host a Donation Drive

    Bring your neighborhood, workplace, school, or church together to collect essentials that help keep kids safely with their families. We will give you a wish list and flyers; your job is to rally people, collect items, and schedule drop-off.

    Kinship Care

    Support a relative caregiver (like a grandparent or aunt) who is raising a child outside of foster care. You will check in once a month and drop off a meal or groceries to help reduce stress and isolation. Some families may also want occasional babysitting if it feels helpful and safe.

  • Help with Childcare at our Family Café

    We hold a Family Café on the first Friday of every month at 6:30pm.

    Provide a Move-In Meal

    Welcome a family into their new home after homelessness by providing a meal or groceries. This simple act reduces stress in a big transition and helps parents and kids start fresh.

  • Youth Volunteer Week

    During school breaks, high school students and families with children five and up can volunteer together at our Hub. Volunteers help process donations, organize supplies, and prepare the space to support families. This is hands-on, team-based volunteering that makes an immediate difference and a great way to earn service hours while doing something meaningful.
