Happy National Volunteer Month!
Did you know the legacy of Children & Families First began when three volunteer organizations combined to form the Associated Charities of Wilmington? These caring individuals, and the thousands since then, who generously gave of their time and talents to help Delaware's children and families thrive is at the very core of who we are and what we do.
Together, we transform lives and futures. And while traditional volunteer roles are what each of us think of first, we also understand not everyone may have the time or resources. So in honor of National Volunteer Month, we invite you to think beyond the traditional - as there are many ways to get involved in our mission, and each makes you a valued member of our CFF family!
Here are five great ways you can gift your time and talents to support our mission that go beyond the traditional volunteer roles...
