Volunteer Portal
Our mission is to bring people together to build relationships. We have many ways to connect and help in our community. We hope you can join us!
Community Christmas
Become a “partner family” and fill the needs/wishes of a local refugee family for Christmas. At least ONE member of the partner family must attend our event on Saturday, December 14 (9:30am – Noon). Partner families will meet their refugee family, and enjoy a meal and a Christmas Symphony together. Gifts are brought to the event.
Care Team
Make meals to help refugee families in need. Join our CARE TEAM and you’ll receive a message when a Radical Love refugee family has a life event such as a new baby, a move, surgery, or death in the family. Care Team members that can help with that need would respond, then make and deliver a meal to that family.
Serve Day
Our refugee neighbors love helping in the community. Join us as we work together to make a difference. In November, we are packing food with Feed My Starving Children to help kids all over the world. Ages 6 and up.
Teacher Appreciation Team
*Radical Love purchases all of the items, volunteers deliver to the schools and set them up in the teachers’ lounge.
Pack Snack Bags
Gather a group of friends, neighbors, sports team or club and help us feed children in our community. Groups work together to pack lunch-sized bags with snack food and deliver the bags to local schools and housing complexes. Several slots in 2025 are still available.
One-Time
Volunteer Projects
Add your name to the list to be contacted when we have one-time, quick, at-home projects that you and your kids can help with. Examples of this would be stuffing newsletters, opening and sorting boxes of gloves and hats, and pumping up soccer balls.
