Our House relies on people who want to give their time and energy to support families with seriously ill children.

Whether you’re cooking meals, making grab-and-go bags, helping with deep cleaning or supporting general tasks around the House, we’ve got meaningful roles where you can make a real difference. 

Below are the main volunteer options we offer:

Cooking for Families

Help prepare home-cooked meals for families staying in the House. Volunteer on your own or as part of a group and give families one less thing to worry about at the end of a long day.
