Volunteer Today!
Beyond the Sanctuary addresses the physical and emotional challenges of poverty and hunger in a collaborative, compassionate and dignified manner and helps community members move from assistance to become self-sustaining.
We are powered by the dedication, energy, talents, and love our volunteers give to our community every day. We'd love to have you join our team!
