About
Volunteers play an important role at Cunningham. As instruments of hope, they help support our vision “to see every child thrive. Whether an individual, a group or a business or organization, we have opportunities for you to help out in meaningful ways, no matter your interests or schedule. The potential for creative volunteering opportunities is limitless!
Opportunities
Events:
We hold several fundraising events annually, such as the Be a Hero 5K, Trunk or Treat, the Festival of Quilts, and the Kendall Gill Golf Benefit. These events count on volunteers for tasks like event setup and breakdown, registration, greeting guests, and more. Volunteers are also essential for other celebrations and Christmas activities, some of which take place during business hours, evenings, and weekends.
We often have opportunities that require a number of volunteers and would welcome help from your group, business or organization. Groups have wrapped Christmas presents, done campus clean-up, washed agency cars, organized storage areas and the Hope Chest and more.
