Volunteer Virtually to Support
Chrysalis Center's Mission
Did you know Chrysalis Center has VIRTUAL volunteer opportunities for both youth and adults which will help our clients?
Virtual volunteering gives the opportunity to share a passion for helping others and making a difference! These opportunities are great for adults, families, businesses (large and small) and those who prefer not to volunteer in person at this time.

Here are a few ways to get involved!

  • Host a food drive. The holidays around the corner and many families will be in need for food.

  • Craft Kits - fill a large zip lock bag with assorted craft supplies or pre-made kits for kids and families. You can include glue, markers, crayons, paint with brushes, construction paper, and other decorations.

  • Kindness Bags – fill a large zip lock back with toiletries and other essential items for clients who are in need. You can also include a handmade card with words of inspiration. Ideas to fill the bag are: mini toiletry items (toothbrush & toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, mouthwash, comb, soap, etc.), mini Kleenex, small snacks; and optional: socks or gloves 
For more information on volunteering and the additional opportunities
Chrysalis has available please contact the Volunteer & Outreach Manager
