Become A Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of WayForward and vital to the success of all of our programs.
By volunteering, you’ll help build a community where everyone can thrive. While you give your time and talent to help build stability for others, you’ll also meet new people and have the chance to try out new activities and learn new skills while experiencing the satisfaction of serving your community. We offer one-time and recurring volunteer opportunities, which are listed below.
"I would tell everyone to just sign up for one shift to volunteer inside of the food pantry. You will get a great sense of the support, kindness and inclusivity that is what WayForward is all about. You will feel so warm and welcomed that you will want to come back for more. It almost feels like a family! "
