Volunteers: Championing Community

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do in the community

Each year, we serve hundreds of families and individuals in the community who need help. We are able to support the needs of people most vulnerable to food insecurity and homelessness because of our dedicated volunteers.

Individuals, families, and organizations who choose to support Families in Transition by giving their time make the impossible possible. If you are passionate about making a difference in your community, there is no better time than right now to join our volunteer team!

We have officially launched our new online volunteer platform!

GivePulse will allow you to sign up for shifts, make changes or cancellations, monitor your hours, ask questions, and learn about other volunteer opportunities in the community. Please join us on GivePulse and we hope to see you soon!

What kind of volunteer activities do we offer?

Volunteers at the Families in Transition thrift store

Support Outfitters Thrift Store

You can serve at our thrift store in various ways, from handling and processing donations to helping our retail associates with in-store tasks. Outfitters Thrift Store is a vital support system for our mission to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness, providing goods and funding for our programs.

Get Involved With Our Food Programs

Support hunger relief and food assistance for people in Manchester experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. Sort and distribute food at our food pantry or serve meals at our emergency shelter locations. You will be vital in the preparation and service of more than 600 meals per day and sustaining more than 300 households each month with groceries from our food pantry.
