Volunteering IS Giving

Volunteering IS Giving

Our volunteers are the heart of our mission. They give their time, energy, and compassion to ensure that every person we serve feels cared for and supported. Without their dedication, our work simply wouldn’t be possible, and because of them, hope is turned into action every single day.

Support Our Work Through Amazon

St. Mary’s benefits in two ways when you shop on Amazon. If you use the Amazon Smile portal, a percentage of your purchase will automatically be sent to St. Mary’s. In addition, St. Mary’s has an Amazon Wish List with items we have identified as essential needs. You can review the list and add an item to your cart. It will automatically be shipped to St. Mary’s. Thank you!
Donations of Essential Items

Donations of Essential Items

Donations of new and gently used clothing, as well as fresh produce and industrial-size canned goods, are all appreciated. Consider hosting a community drive or donating items from your home. Perhaps a birthday or anniversary party could have a meaningful twist on gifts this year. In lieu of gifts for the honoree, everyone brings a pair of gently used men’s jeans or a package of diapers to be donated to St. Mary’s. It will be a memorable, meaningful and impactful celebration event. Please ensure that gently used clothing and bedding are free of pet hair and dander. We do not know who may have an allergy and how severe the allergy may be.
