    Description

    When our newest families enter into our program, a sense of community is built and created with volunteers like you!

    Each night of the week, our families are provided and served dinner by gracious volunteers. This is a great way to connect and be of service. The average headcount for dinner is 20 (about 10 children and 10 adults)
