VOLUNTEER

Volunteer Opportunities

Anyone interested in volunteering must attend one of our in-person orientations, which are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. No registration required, simply join us at our building located at 22 Kersey Road in Peace Dale. Extra parking is available in the Lilly Pads parking lot across the street from the Welcome House.

If you are unable to attend a regularly scheduled orientation or have questions regarding volunteering, please contact Jennifer Krueger at jkrueger@jonnycakecenter.org.
