Regular Volunteer Opportunities in Our Community

We are looking for more volunteers to help prepare a hot meal to drop off for the residents of the Gardenview Tiny Home Village in Bellingham. We coordinate with one of the village’s staff members to let them know in advance when we're coming and what we're bringing, so that residents can make plans accordingly. If you would like more information, contact Terry Foulke.
