Host a Collection Drive

This is a perfect activity for children and organizations to help our families transitioning out of homelessness into safe, permanent housing. We gladly accept community donations of house cleaning kits, toiletries, school supplies, non-perishable foods, kitchenware, and more.

Take a look at our collection drive themes to get inspired!

Please note: We no longer operate a Donation Center for used items.

Group Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer groups make the Villa Garden one of the most vibrant and therapeutic spots on our campus, where our students can explore and connect with nature. We’re able to host groups up to 15 people for 3-5 hours blocks. To assist with projects, we ask that the group provide a stipend between $500 and $2,500 to help purchase materials and tools needed.

Last year, nearly 550 volunteers gave more than 6,400 hours of service to the Villa, valued at more than $170,000.
