Volunteers are a vital part of the FamilyWorks’ efforts to combat hunger.  In 2018, over 500 volunteers gave over 7,000 to the emergency nutrition programs at FamilyWorks, connecting neighbors and families to nourishing food.

Help take action against hunger, with convenient weekend and evening volunteer activities through FamilyWorks:

Have a profound impact on the health of our neighbors, and families in desperate need.  Take action against hunger, now, to cultivate a more vibrant community for all!

For those unable to volunteer, consider giving a donation of money to give those marginalized in our society access to food, family support and a path to resiliency.  Find out more on the FamilyWorks website.
