We do not have any ongoing volunteer opportunities at this time; our only volunteer opportunities will be for occasional events. We sure have missed seeing our volunteers every day, and we hope to resume more regular volunteer opportunities in the future.

Please note: Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination OR submission of a weekly negative COVID-19 test result are required to be accepted as a volunteer. Requests for reasonable accommodations will be considered.
