In order to limit the number of people coming in and out of the house, all on-site volunteering is still suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.
At this time, we are not accepting homemade baked goods.
Individuals and groups may stay involved by donating a meal.
We will update our volunteer opportunities as they become available.
Group and Family Volunteer Opportunities
Group volunteering is a great way to bring co-workers, families, church groups, and civic organizations together for a common cause. We’re excited to partner with you to make the Family House more than just a place to stay.
-
DEEP CLEAN THE HOUSE
Good for a group of 5-10, anything that you can clean at your house you can clean at ours—from sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, folding laundry, dusting, etc. It can take your group about 2 hours to make the house sparkle. This is typically scheduled on Saturdays after 11am.
-
MAKE A MEAL
A great way for a group to be involved with the Family House is to prepare dinner (or a Saturday morning breakfast) in our beautiful kitchen! Your group will leave knowing that your home cooking, as one guest put it, “warmed the bellies and the hearts” of the families.
-
ASSEMBLE CAREGIVER BAGS
Gather items (such as lotions, puzzle books, personal care items, or notepads) and assemble in care bags to give to guests at check-in.
-
HOST A WISH LIST DRIVE
Anything you use at your home we use at ours. Help us stock our home with toiletries, paper products, and food items used on a daily basis.

BAKE GRANDMA LEE’S FAMILY HOUSE GINGER COOKIE
This is good for a group of about 5-6 people. We have all the ingredients here to make these ginger cookies. It takes about an hour per batch to make fresh, delicious cookies for families and to give out to donors and friends.

STOCK THE FREEZER
Make a chili, soup, or bread to feed 50 people. When there is not a meal scheduled, the Family House can pull it out for families to eat! Please make only the recipes found here.
