Hey, Hero!
You've come to the right place.
Is there a specific talent or passion you'd like to share with Caring Families? From youngsters to seasoned seniors, we believe everyone has a unique gift to offer in ministry to others, and we welcome yours.
Want to help, but need ideas? ​No problem. We have plenty of capes on hand!
What does helping look like?
The ripple effect of compassion starts with you! When kindhearted people like you team up, truly extraordinary things happen. Get to know three of our remarkable volunteers who are using their unique gifts to serve in different aspects of our ministry to eastern Connecticut.
Meet Russ
MobileCare Support
Russ keeps our MobileCare van road-ready, even if it means wrestling with yucky, greasy problems. His can-do attitude ensures every woman we serve steps into an inviting, professional environment.
Meet Tracy
Advocacy Team
Tracy serves as both a client advocate and support group leader. In fact, she helped launch our exclusively volunteer-run support groups, leading an 8-week healing group for miscarriage twice a year.
Meet Matt
Property & Events
Matt makes an all-around impact on our ministry! From providing IT and A/V support at our events to mowing, painting, and doing general repairs at our Willimantic center, he helps us thrive year-round.
MobileCare Van Support
Our MobileCare van travels across eastern Connecticut, bringing hope to women right where they are. Volunteers keep our equipment in tip-top shape through tasks like cleaning, stocking, and light maintenance checks.
​
We also urgently need drivers -- no special license required, just a willing heart to get our staff and vital services where they need to go. These shifts typically run six hours, with availability throughout the week.​​
Building &
Property Care
Help us create a welcoming space for clients visiting our Willimantic center. Whether it's general maintenance, repairs, gardening, mowing, painting, or snow removal, your time, supplies, or manpower ensure we present a clean, inviting atmosphere to the women we serve.
We also welcome help with seasonal decorating, organizing storage, and minor renovations!
