GET INVOLVED! Volunteer Groups enjoy many projects at the Nursery, which may include:
• Packing bags of diapers to send home with our babies so they always have clean diapers
• Assembling bags of food for families who don’t have enough to eat
• Painting, staining, and other Nursery beautification projects
• Trimming bushes, pulling weeds and cleaning up the area around our building (weather permitting)
