For Families Like Us is a volunteer-driven organization, built and nurtured by passionate community members who are committed to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. Whether you can contribute your time, financial support, donations, corporate sponsorship, or specific talents, we’d love for you to join our village.

Volunteer Opportunities

Wash and/or Repair

Help save clothes from being discarded by cleaning and repairing donated items. This is an ongoing need and makes a big impact!

Thrift Store Deal Finder

Assist us by shopping for new underwear, socks, and clothing sizes missing from our inventory. This is a fun task, and training is available for interested volunteers.

Garage Sale Donation Finder

Locate garage sales with suitable items for our clients, share our mission with the sellers, and return at the end of the sale to collect unsold items. A single sale can fill a car with valuable donations!

Support For Families Like Us by planning fundraising events or representing us at networking events. These volunteers serve as a vital link between our organization and the community.

Assist our Board of Directors with letter writing, brochure design, newsletters, and other special projects to spread awareness about our mission. Flexible commitment—work on one or several projects throughout the year.
