Volunteer for Family House

Gift of Life Family House will provide guest families with a comfortable respite from the stresses of caring for their loved one and volunteers are a very important part of providing that care. Whether it’s cooking a meal, answering the phone, sharing a laugh or shedding a tear, volunteers are truly the Heart of the House.
