1. Volunteer with us
Join us in making a difference for families in our community. Volunteers of all ages (6 and up) are welcome — whether you’re an individual, family, or part of a group from a school, business, church, or service organization.
- We offer both in-person and at-home opportunities at our Lake County and McHenry County locations.
- All volunteer sign-ups are managed through our online portal, Golden. You’ll need to create an account to view and register for available shifts.
Online registration is required. We are unable to accept volunteer requests by email or phone.
We accept: diapers, pull-ups, youth & adult incontinence products, and period supplies.
