Candlelighters volunteers are the heart of our organization providing essential services. They read stories to children in the hospital, drive parents and children to and from appointments, bring food and toys or collect donations. During camp they share their special talents from teaching arts and craft to hiking or horseback riding. They teach classes and workshops. They serve on our Board of Directors, Committees and special events. We are very thankful for the generosity of our volunteers. Come join this team of volunteers and share your special talents. Being a part of a child’s reason to smile brings as much joy to the giver as to the receiver!
