Volunteer with Project Helping for the Samaritan House

Project Helping organizes volunteer events specifically designed to make an impact — both on you and your community. Through volunteering, you can actively invest in your communities while also reaping the benefits of increased mental wellness. We create opportunities for you to practice kyndfulness!

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?

Join Project Helping volunteers to improve your mental wellness! We will be packing 200 paper bags with packaged food items. We will also be decorating the paper bags, and writing encouraging notes to go in each bag. These supplement the bag lunches for the homeless population they serve.
