Volunteers of all ages are welcomed at Family Promise. We help hundreds of families a year, and it would not be possible without each and every one of our valuable volunteers. You are our secret sauce! We have many ways for families, individuals, congregations, businesses and groups to get involved. Age, skill and availability don’t matter – we will find the perfect fit.
