Volunteers are essential to HOPE. Each year over 12,000 hours of services have been donated to HOPE with an estimated value of $150,000. Over 400 volunters enable HOPE to reach out to the grieving children and adults through their efforts of direct service to the bereaved, or their efforts to raise funds that enable HOPE to provide our care services at no charge.
