WORDS FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS
“Volunteering, especially, at The Family Place is an incredible experience. To give oneself wholeheartedly to helping another is a great reward. The Princess Party was my favorite volunteer moment. Being able to see the faces of the children light up as they live that dream is a blessing.”
-Richard, Recurring Volunteer
A volunteer began volunteering [in the Kid’s Place] because they wanted more experience with kids. The first few weeks they were very shy and reserved and weren’t sure what to do with the kids. After a month they found their confidence and was playing and interacting with the kids. At the end of the semester they had to be done volunteering because his schedule was to full. They personally thanked the volunteer coordinator saying “Thank you for allowing me to volunteer here. Coming in with little child care experience, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the kids have come to mean so much to me and i’m not sure what I have done for them but I know they have changed my life.”

“I serve as a Service Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. The Family Place is one of my weekly assignments for my service. This past year I was put in charge of organizing the presents that were brought in for their Christmas Sponsorship, wrapping them, and then getting them delivered or picked up by the families. This really brought to my attention how good this world really is. We were able to help over 60 families that couldn’t provide Christmas. Being in charge of all of that was a big task, but I got to learn so much from that experience. Those memories of spending so many hours helping the ONE in need was beyond amazing.”
– Elder Hull, Service Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
