Interested in getting involved?
We believe in the power of collective impact through partnerships- because no single program can do it all. It takes a spectrum of support. Housing providers, recovery programs, employers, nonprofits, churches, and neighbors each hold a piece of the puzzle.
Volunteers help us serve more people! We have lots of opportunities to help out in hands-on and behind the scenes ways. Check out the opportunities below, fill out the interest form, and we will be in touch!
