Volunteers are vital to the success of A Precious Child
A Precious Child would not be able to meet the growing need of children and families in our community without the effort of the wonderful volunteers that give of their time and talents. Volunteers have a hand in all of the operations of A Precious child, including: clerical work, sorting donations, data entry and assistance with our special events.
Last year A Precious Child had 1,090 volunteers donate a total of 13,694 hours! We hope to be able to do more together in the next year.
