Volunteer Application

Did you know volunteering is good for you? It can reduce stress by interrupting usual tension-producing patterns when you focus on someone other than yourself.

It creates resources to provide valuable community services that are otherwise not available those who need them most. The estimated value of a volunteer’s time is $20!

Volunteers learn a lot about their community, and new skills to use in work and in life. They discover talents that may change their view on their self worth.

Volunteering brings people together, uniting people from diverse backgrounds to work toward a common goal, building camaraderie and teamwork.

Volunteering promotes personal growth and self-esteem, by helping to foster empathy through understanding community needs.

Volunteering strengthens our community, by helping to support families, older adults, Veterans, and marginalized communities that are in need of assistance.

It feels good to invest your heart and hands in our community – and our neighbors who live in it.
