The Hope of the Grand Valley's slogan says it all: "Giving a Hand Up, Not Just a Hand Out" They are looking for volunteers to help those hard working families by sharing your knowledge and expertise.
There are a number of great volunteer opportunities including one that lets you assist local law enforcement by becoming one of the Citizens on Patrol.
If you're a good cook and would like to share your skills, there's a wonderful volunteer opportunity available at Homeward Bound. Even if you're not good at cooking, volunteer to help and you'll probably pick up some tips. Either way, you'll learn some very valuable life lessons.
