We are a non-medical facility whose services include traditional outreach, testing, prevention, and education in addition to nutrition services. Our focus, however, is holistic and includes connecting our clients with                non-traditional treatments such as massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic to promote overall health and well-being.

 

Our tight knit group of Clients, Staff and Board Members rely heavily on the wonderful donation of time, effort, compassion and caring by our fantastic Volunteers.

 

This IS the place to be!  We have a great fun filled community of people who enjoy helping others.  Come and be a part of it and have some FUN!

 

Whether you want hands on experience helping our clients or behind the scenes we have the volunteer opportunity that would best suit you!

           

There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities available. Our ongoing needs include fundraising, event planning, prevention outreach, phone reception, and administrative/office help. Volunteering for our fundraisers promises involvement in fun and unique events! In addition, holistic therapy practitioners are always needed to donate their services for our clients.
