"Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds; it changes the odds.”  - President Bill Clinton

There are many different ways to support The Dwelling Place through volunteerism. We are a small agency in terms of staff size but we accomplish a great deal with 20 to 25 families per year. Our work is possible because individuals give of their time and talents to assist us with the families, in the office, on a fundraising event, and more.
