Volunteer
Helping Project Legacy youth by donating your time and energy is always appreciated. And there are several projects where volunteers really make a difference:
Operation Nourish
Offers nutritious food to Project Legacy youth. Every other week volunteers self-organize to purchase groceries, write caring notes, and drop them off for sorting and delivery.
Operation Comfort Food
Helps create a nurturing environment for the Project Legacy healing circles. Volunteers prepare and deliver food, and are encouraged to share in the meal portion of the meeting. Simple connection through food creates a sense of community.
Operation Encourage
Provides support to Project Legacy students. Each volunteer is matched with a student and sends monthly care packages during the school year. From September through May, simple notes and small gifts let them know someone is thinking of them.
Operation Connect
Offers a point of contact and hope for incarcerated Project Legacy youth. Volunteers correspond by writing letters of support and encouragement.
