Be the Reason Hope Feels Like Home

Individuals

Whether you're a teen, an adult, or just someone looking to make a regular difference, there’s a place for you to serve at Hope’s Closet.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to serve on their own, though younger volunteers are welcome with adult supervision. If you're under 18, you'll need to bring a signed Minor Waiver Form with you on your first day. Before your first shift, all volunteers attend a short orientation to learn more about our mission and how we serve together.

Please dress modestly and wear closed-toe shoes for safety. If you're coming with a group of six or more, we kindly ask that you register as a group.

Large Groups (6+)

Planning to serve with a group of six or more? We’d love to explore opportunities with you. Simply fill out the form linked below, and a member of our team will be in touch within three to four business days to talk through available dates and details.

Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee a group serve day, but it helps us begin the conversation and find the best fit for your team.

Court-Mandated Community Service

If you’re completing court-ordered community service hours, we welcome you to serve with purpose at Hope’s Closet.

Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, and charges must not involve violence, weapons, or sexual misconduct in order to serve with us. Before your first shift, you’ll attend a brief orientation to learn about our mission and volunteer expectations.

Be sure to bring all required court documentation with you, dress modestly, and wear closed-toe shoes for safety. Don’t forget to get your paperwork signed before you leave each day to ensure your hours are properly recorded.
