Volunteering
A Doorway to Hope offers several programs to assist families. The positive impact is powerful and far reaching, not just for those receiving, but for those giving. Volunteer families who have been involved since the beginning have built strong relationships with their “adopted” Christmas families and continue this long-standing holiday tradition.
Thank you to our 200+ active volunteers serving the working poor in our community.
