The willing hands and generous hearts of many make it possible for us to keep the doors open to Granny’s House. We know that each volunteer has something special to contribute and we encourage each to do what they are uniquely gifted to do!
If you simply wish to help keep supplies on hand, check out the Granny’s House Wish List. Here is a list of some things volunteers are doing or have done in the past:
We often say that our volunteers are the fuel that runs the Granny’s House engine. Our weekly volunteers do everything from lead groups, clean, file income taxes, plant flowers, drive for field trips, run errands etc. Additionally, each semester we also get a fresh crop of volunteers from Community Engaged Learning (MIZZOU), resident physicians from Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and nursing student interns from the Sinclair School of Nursing.
We host mandatory volunteer orientation sessions for all first-time volunteers at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Volunteers must complete an online background check form.
