Volunteers are truly essential to delivering the mission of the Domus Pacis Family Respite. Becoming a Family Respite Volunteer, you will be helping families going through difficult times and it will touch you deeper than you can imagine. It's the best way to give...family to family...person to person. Here's a few ways you can personally become a part of helping a family escape to the peace of the mountains:

Program Volunteer

Program volunteers are available as needed for an entire week long family respite. Volunteers are at the house to welcome the family when they arrive, providing them with an overview of their respite home as well as orientation of the county.

DPFR individual and family volunteers can have a very personal connection with our respite families. How you might participate is only limited by one's imagination. Below are some suggestions on how you can help by providing:

• Home-Cooked Meals
• Treats (sweets, fruit, snacks, etc.)
• Coffee Cakes, Muffins, Cookies
• Board Games and Books
• Novelty items (T-shirts, hats, lip gloss, etc.)
• Plants and Flowers
• Welcome Baskets

Special Event Volunteer

During the coming year, the Domus Pacis Family Respite organization will host at least one special event to raise funds that support the Family Respite program. In addition, proposed are four seasonal events to involve the community and broaden the awareness of the family respite program.
