We have many ways in which members of our communities can enrich the lives of our residents and clients. Volunteering is a great way for individuals, civic groups, schools and churches to make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.
How you can help:
Thanksgiving Turkey Boxes
Many of our families couldn’t have a Thanksgiving feast without the generosity of our community. If you would like to get involved and sponsor a family, please collect items listed to feed a family of six, or make a donation.
Christmas Angel Tree
Each year, HumanKind’s programs help families provide Christmas gifts for their children. Thanks to the Christmas Angel Tree, HumanKind serves approximately 200 children annually.
