Volunteers
Volunteers are vital to The Little Red House. They play the piano and sing, provide pet therapy, play group games with participants and visit with them one-on-one, perform yard work, clerical work, and other chores, provide hospitality at our annual ice-cream social and assist with all the before, during, and after work of two major fundraising events. Because of the more than 1,000 hours of time and services we are honored to receive each year from our dedicated volunteers, The Little Red House is able to keep its fees affordable and welcome all our neighbors who need us with open arms.

Because we serve a vulnerable adult population, we conduct background checks of prospective volunteers and require they train with a staff member before working with participants.

Most of our volunteers will tell you that they get much more from our participants than they give.

Do you have time and a special talent or skill to offer The Little Red House? If you are interested in volunteering, please call Joan Wills-Birch, 846-5720 or e-mail joan@thelittleredhouse.org.
