The Carying Place relies on the efforts of compassionate people who volunteer their time and efforts to help change the lives of families in need. Each volunteer can positively impact a family who may need various assistance to learn the life-skills necessary to obtain financial stability and permanent self-sustaining housing.

Volunteers are the key to The Carying Place. There are many volunteer positions and each requires a different degree of commitment and training.

If you would like more information on how you can volunteer your time and talents in any of the areas listed below, please contact us at (919) 462-1800 or info@thecaryingplace.org.
