At Share Our Selves, we have a wonderful corps of volunteers, who generously give their time to serve our community. They are a warm welcome at our front desk, caring hands making food bags, and compassionate in their service to others. Volunteers are an integral part of our service delivery since 1970. Because of the dedication and commitment of our volunteers, we are able to provide high quality programs and services.
We welcome you to join our team – you can make a difference! To learn more, attend our volunteer information session via Zoom.
