New Volunteers
The services our volunteers provide are invaluable. A core of about 100 volunteers contribute 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.

Kids Who Kare Meals
Provide a healthy meal for our Kids as they grieve their losses, and support their families. By providing a meal, you will ensure that the families are able to attend the Kids Who Kare group, without having to worry about hungry bellies and meal times. This is a great opportunity for small groups–your book club, Sunday school class, scout troop or work team to do together. You can drop off the meal the day of, or stay and serve. You decide what works best for you and your team. -
A Handy-person
A much-loved and much-used older home like The Christi Center needs periodic maintenance–everything from changing hard-to-reach lightbulbs to installing a security light. If you are handy–we can use you!
