Volunteer around the office: We have various needs for volunteers throughout the year. Assist with our Holiday Hope Drive and provide the District’s children with a happy holiday. Volunteer to make our annual Benefit a success. Help us maintain our extensive donations closet which provides clothes, books, toys and household items for our clients. Help organize and file documents, or help with data cleanup. Please note, our clients are confidential. Although we are a children's organization, volunteers will not work directly with our child clients.
