VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

"I am so moved by our guests, their struggles and their courage. Volunteering and working with this population has enriched my life."       -Cindy                  

Our volunteers are instrumental to SAM25 in carrying out its mission and helping individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty connect with the services and resources in our community. 

 

SAM25 volunteers partner in sharing the SAM25 story.  Even when not logging volunteer hours for SAM25, they continue to support the mission by sharing in the community about the volunteer work they do to assist with the SAM25 programs that help those affected by poverty improve their circumstances to become self-sufficient.
