Get in Touch to Get Involved

There are many opportunities for community volunteers to give of their time and talents  to The Homeless Families Foundation - as individuals, families, groups. Reaching Out to others in need is of inestimable value to the community in which one lives. HFF was founded by volunteers in 1986; today volunteers still play major roles in accomplishing its mission. Volunteers must be 16 years of age.
