Want To Help?
We have several ways you can get involved:
Volunteering,
Donating Items,
& Making a Charitable Donation.
Volunteer at our Saturday Morning Outreach Mission
We meet every Saturday at United Methodist Church, in East Boca Raton from 9AM-11:30AM. We prepare and distribute food, drinks, clothes, reading glasses, toiletries and other items.
We also have weekly announcements, testimonies, and spiritual messages delivered by our staff. As part of our announcements, we describe our organization’s process of eliminating homelessness and mention our partnerships with organizations who can help with addiction, mental health issues, and recovery.
We welcome volunteers to assist. Please fill out the form below if you’re interested in volunteering.
If you have questions please call (561) 961-4635 or email info@changinglives.me
