Our center relies on many amazing volunteers to maintain the center and offer its programming. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to keep things running and any additional help is greatly appreciated. Anyone with home construction or renovation skills is especially requested for help with preparing the new center. A registration system has been created for volunteers who would like to donate their time and valuable experience to support the center. You can sign up via the form here. Thank you!

We will be running the air purifier in the common area.
