what does it mean to volunteer at

?

FROM relies on volunteers in all parts of our organization.
We have volunteers who answer the phone, help in our programs, and serve in Treasures Thrift Store.
We love our volunteers and couldn’t help as many of our neighbors in need without them.
 

We are blessed to have over 300 volunteers donate their time at FROM each year, but we always have open volunteer positions. We'd love to have you join us! Get started today by filling out the volunteer interest form.

annual events:

Backpack Distribution: Help sort and bundle school supplies ahead of distribution day, then serve on-site by manning tables and assisting with check-in.

Christmas Distribution: One of our biggest events of the year! Volunteers can help sort and bundle gifts, guide parents as they shop for their children, assist with food basket bundling, support pickup day for Christmas food baskets, and serve at tables during the main distribution event.
