Why Volunteer?

Our volunteers are supported by clinic staff and fellow volunteers as they share their time, skills and compassion with neighbors in need. Together, volunteers help address community needs and build connections with congregations, businesses, schools and civic organizations, helping restore hope and improve lives.

More than 100 volunteers help make the Open Door Clinic’s work possible. Volunteers choose how often they would like to serve, with schedules that fit their availability and interests.
