Volunteer
We are blessed to have many dedicated volunteers helping to share the work of Rescue. Professional people, teachers, homemakers, retired persons and teenagers have a place at the Mission. Youth Groups and Sunday School Classes even help us on work days. Ladies are welcome to join our Ladies Auxiliary to explore additional volunteer opportunities.
If you would like to learn more about volunteering for these activities or take a tour of the Mission Please contact Kathy Jones at (717) 812-1692 or contact the YRM office at (717) 845-7662.
