Harvesting Wishes is a great program to cultivate hope and resiliency for children with critical illnesses in your community.
Volunteering comes in many different shapes and sizes! You can be a local volunteer wish-granter, using your time and talent on a specialized wish, or leading a local fundraiser to support wishes. Read on to learn how wishes don’t just happen, but they rely on volunteers just like you!
We understand that you want to volunteer but might not know where your skills and talents best lie.
Check out our volunteer categories and see where you can best help make wishes come true.
