Our amazing volunteers lead with heart and fiercely advocate for our community’s health each and every day. We could not provide our life-saving health services without their help.

This past year, 876 volunteers donated 24,000 hours to support our critical work, which offset more than $684,960 in program costs. This makes it possible for us to continue providing medically tailored meals and culturally relevant grocery bags, safe and stable housing, and other critical health services to thousands of neighbors facing illness and poverty.

As we celebrate Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are recognizing all our volunteers who have given their time, dedication, and heart to our community.

Hear from Janie, a fellow volunteer, on why she loves giving back to Lifelong.
