Crisis Nursery

• Volunteers needed Monday through Friday anytime between 8am and 8pm. Most volunteers commit to coming at a regular time every other week or once a week depending on their schedule. The main duty of our volunteers is to take care of the children (ages 0-6 years old). That can mean baths, playtime, reading books, etc. When we do not have children scheduled, we need help cleaning toys and organizing the Nursery.
