Volunteer

GIVE AN HOUR. GIVE A DAY. GIVE YOUR BEST.

We all have special talents. Things we can do to help, and when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. Whether it's preparing school readiness kits for hard-working families or helping to improve neighborhoods, there are many volunteer options available in Marion County. So give the gift of you. Volunteer.
