Group Volunteer

God has blessed us with a large community of partner organizations. 

More than 100 faith groups, civic groups, schools, and businesses come alongside us every day providing care, compassion, and service. We’d love to have your organization join our team!

Please fill out the brief form below and our Volunteer Manager will reach out to you shortly. Please note that groups are considered 5 or more individuals who are not part of the same family.

Questions? Please email Carolyn Chandler or call 301-695-6633 x221.

Group Volunteer Details

We are excited that your group is interested in volunteering at the Mission! Groups are considered five or more individuals.  Families, regardless of size, must sign up as individuals.

Please review our requirements and timelines to determine if your group’s circumstances  align with them.

Please complete and return this application at least two weeks before your desired day to volunteer.  We will get back to you to discuss the details.

Group volunteer time frames:

  • Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – 9:30 am – 12:00 pm and 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm
  • Friday 9:30 am – 12:00 pm 
  • Lunch service openings are Monday – Friday
  • WE DO NOT HAVE EVENING OR WEEKEND GROUP OPENINGS.

Group size requirements:

  • Small Group sizes of 4 – 6 can serve together in one department.
  • Medium Group sizes of 7 – 12 will be split between departments.

Day of Service opportunities – only for businesses

Carol Switzer
Rescued Treasures Coordinator

Carol empowers the volunteers in Rescued Treasures. Together, they provide clothing people need for themselves and their families. Carol also runs Crossed Bridges with her husband Jonathan. She enjoys playing any sport with a ball, crocheting, bike riding, and spending time with her husband and five children. 

“He who loves God must love his brother also.” (1 John 4:21) explains what wakes Carol up in the morning to begin a new day; being able to serve the Lord while working with people, whether it be administratively or relationally. She loves hearing the testimonies of how Jesus has changed people’s lives, especially because He’s done so much for her!
