Restoring Dignity’s volunteers are the heart of our organization! Your help means we can serve even more families this year! We rely on volunteers to do everything from assemble cleaning kits, to prepare materials in 15 languages for our Welcome Home classes, to makeover homes for families in need.  Volunteer opportunities are available on a weekly basis, monthly basis or for special events as needed.
