Is there a specific program your group would like to work with? Typically, volunteer groups will volunteer at our Food Shelf, or if it is in the spring or fall, we will encourage you to participate in the Spring/Fall lawn clean-up for Seniors. That is our greatest need. If it is around Christmas, volunteer groups may be able to assist with Holiday Share.
