WHY VOLUNTEER?
You can develop new skills you may not have realized you had! Sometimes we do not need a reason to do something good for someone else, imagine how you will feel helping those in need. It is also a great way to meet new people and connect to those you may not have the opportunity to meet in your normal life. Volunteering with us will allow you to form new connections with your Lake Charles community and other outlying parishes as well. Lastly, even if you volunteer once or on a regular basis, it will have a positive and humbling impact in your life, but a lifelong effect on the people you help.

General Office Help: Stop in and help file, make copies or even organize office supplies.
Warehouse: If you feel like you want to be outside and not inside then come help us stack canned goods, sort donations or help us hand out food on our food days!
