Volunteers make our operation successful
Many people, talents and gifts are needed to fulfill our mission of helping neighbors stay in their homes when a temporary financial crisis hits.
Do you have a special skill or interest you’d like to share with us?
Pick a date and time that works for you and call Cathy T. our volunteer and community service coordinator at (708) 633-5040. Leave a voicemail message and phone number and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Community Service applicants must be over the age of 16.
