Join us in making a difference.
We are the hands and feet of Christ when we help people in need! We have some specific opportunities to serve, as well as group opportunities and one-time opportunnities. If you are interested, give us a call and we can set up a tour of the mission, and talk about the details of volunteering. This will give us the opportunity to give you the full details of each type of volunteer job, and set up training as needed. Call (919) 934-9257 to set up a time to visit.

Professional Volunteers
The term “professional volunteer” seems like a contradiction in terms, but it’s exactly what we need a lot of–professionals who are willing to use their skills at the mission. God has given each one of us skills and abilities that can be used to help others, and we’re asking people to use those at the mission.
Part of our New Life Program is life skill classes. Some of these include personal finance and budgeting, professional skills, healthy cooking, studying for a GED, and more. If you’re interested in volunteering on a regular basis in one of these areas, please contact Ben Olsen to learn more (919.934.9257 or ben@smithfieldrescue.org).
Maintaining our facilities is a big job, and we’re always looking for people who would like to help us do that. If you’re a plumber, electrician, contractor, builder, etc- and you’d like to offer your services, please let us know. We’d like to keep a list of these professionals on hand for ongoing and future needs. Contact our office to be added to the list (919.934.9257 or admin@smithfieldrescue.org).
