There are so many ways to support our mission through volunteerism and we understand the importance of getting kids involved with philanthropy at a young age. We work with families, student and community groups, troops and more who want to volunteer. To find out about Thanksgiving volunteering, please click here.
Young Hearts are youth (middle school and under) who, along with their schools, peer groups, and/or families, engage in God’s Love volunteerism, philanthropy, events and education.
