Volunteer opportunities for The Lucille and Leo Caiafa, jr. Center for Advancement
|
"I don't have the time to volunteer, how else can I help?"You can help by donating basic needs supplies. Most recently released women are left with only the clothes on their back. By providing basic clothing, food, and hygiene items we are able to remove some obstacles so these women can focus on their next steps to stability.
