Compassion is a choice to honor someone’s humanity
Like anything, it needs to be practiced, and in time that compassion becomes a part of who we are.
Please join us in our efforts to help those who need it the most. Volunteer opportunities are available. We rely heavily on the assistance of volunteers to provide critical life-saving needs and services. Our volunteers assist in a variety of day-to-day operations including visitor check-in, laundry services, donation maintenance, and preparing and serving meals.
