Service to our neighbors in need is at the core of our mission. When you volunteer with Seton Center, you take part in bringing about meaningful, enduring change in their lives. You’ll serve with other caring, committed people who share your passion to help build a stronger community. We have numerous opportunities to volunteer – at the Outreach Center, in the Family Store, even at home behind the scenes. We are always looking for caring, committed individuals like you!
Maybe it’s an elderly couple whose water is in danger of being shut off. Perhaps it’s a young man trying to end his addiction. Or a woman who wants to smile again, but is too embarrassed because she can’t afford proper dental care. Your gift can—and will—change someone’s life. Call Seton Center Inc today.
