Volunteer Now!

Posted: 06-01-2010

Volunteering has been said to be the “secret ingredient” to staying healthy and fulfilled.

Giving back for the good of the community benefits volunteers and those in need. Children learn to read or gain a new friend and role model, seniors receive home delivered meals, neighborhoods are cleared of trash and debris. Flowers are planted and minor home repairs are provided. And there’s so much more that volunteers are doing to help nonprofit agencies!

Lighthouse invites volunteers to make a difference by sharing their skills and experience with the community.

We are currently recruiting volunteers for the following projects:

If you are interested in any of our volunteer opportunities please contact our Neighborhood Services Department.
