We are only as strong as the the great team of volunteers that devote their time and efforts to serve those in need in Johnson County. Whether you help out one time or on a regular basis we are truly humbled and grateful for our most valuable resource.
Only through direct engagement in support of The Refuge mission, can volunteer needs be met. Regular volunteer needs include front office assistance, workers during pantry hours, sorting and stocking donations, picking up donations. and general building maintenance. As services expand, opportunities to serve will also expand.
We welcome and encourage students to volunteer. If under 15, must be accompanied by an adult.
