HELP US CHANGE LIVES…..VOLUNTEER!
Volunteers play a vital role at The Lord's Place. Volunteer support allows us to effectively change the lives of the homeless and less fortunate. Volunteering allows you to become part of the solution for homelessness. Be a part of something bigger than yourself - join us at The Lord's Place as we work towards restoring dignity and self-esteem to disadvantaged men, women and children of Palm Beach County.
We value your gifts, talents, commitment, service and especially your time, all of which are essential to our work. We seek volunteers who are committed to the true spirit of creating an environment of dignity and respect and we are committed to providing quality volunteer opportunities.
To become a volunteer, you must be over 18-years-old and willing to make a time-commitment. Please click here to view our volunteer opportunities.
