A Community of Volunteers

St. Francis House is a special place to volunteer your time and give back to your community. And luckily, we have plenty of opportunities available for you! Most opportunities require a 4-6 hour commitment once or twice a week. However, we can work with your schedule.

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the online volunteer application below. Or if you have any questions, please contact Laura at laura@puyallupfrancishouse.org.
