Volunteer
The services our volunteers provide are invaluable. A core of about 100 volunteers contributes more than 10,000 hours annually. It is a gift that is impossible to quantify. Volunteers provide services that aid every aspect of our organization’s work — from administrative support functions to assisting with grief sessions and events, to maintenance, to learning how to become support group facilitators and actually working with our members. It is an amazing effort and we are deeply grateful for it.
