The mission of Valerie’s House is to help children and families work through the loss of a loved one together and go on to live fulfilling lives. At Valerie's House, our children meet other children like them, and they create strong bonds as they begin to heal together and learn loss doesn't have to limit their dreams.

Volunteer Opportunities

Greeters/Parking Helpers

Welcome Families to Group Nights and Assist with Parking

Be a welcoming smile as families come through the doors of Valerie's House on group nights. Assist children, teens, and caregivers with sign-in and name tags. Mingle and get to know our families. Have a friend who wants to volunteer? Bring them along!

Parking is tight, so help us get all vehicles parked safely.

A commitment of one hour, two evenings a month from 5:30 - 6:30 pm, is encouraged.

Dinner Helper

Help Set up, Serve, and Clean up Potluck Dinners

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this is held at Valerie's House. Join us twice a month to set up, serve, and clean up dinner. Please get to know our families as they join you in the kitchen!

A commitment of at least 1.5 hours, two evenings a month from 5:30 - 7:30 pm is encouraged.

Buddies

Our Buddy volunteers must go through training before starting as a volunteer. Once they complete the training, they will sit in a group with the children & help facilitate the activity for the night and help engage the children. 

Hours for this opportunity are from 5:30pm-8:30pm

The group is held Monday-Thursday

The next training is October 14th from 9am-5pm and October 15th from 1pm-5pm.
