Volunteer With Us!

At Family SOS, our volunteers play an essential role in our success. From guest speaking engagements, to fund development, and general maintenance - our volunteers are involved in a variety of ways within our organization, and we cannot thank them enough. 

What do we look for in a volunteer? We look for people with diverse skills, interests and backgrounds! We are flexible with hours and commitment, and would love to discuss any unique ideas you may have!

Weekly and Monthly Volunteer Opportunities

Community Food Market - Every week, we host a Community Food Market outside of our Greystone Facility. We are always looking for people to help with the market stand! Responsibilities range from general set up to packing food for families that can’t make it. Most importantly, you get to interact with the community members as they gather their items.

Guest Speaker or Guest Program Lead - Visit our program as a Guest Speaker or Program Lead on an interesting topic to our children, youth or parenting programs. In the past, we have experienced fitness classes, science experiments, anti-bullying presentations, and gardening workshops. Working in conjunction with our Programming staff, we have also offered classes on various topics, including resume writing, tax preparation, and goal setting.

Meals and Baking  - Prepare meals or baked goods at home and donate for specific meals. It is always best for us to plan for these items, so call ahead at 902-455-5515 wherever possible!

Other Opportunities
