Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of Helping Hands for the Holidays. Each year, we serve a full buffet meal to hundreds of guests, and we rely on caring community members to help create a warm, welcoming experience. Whether you’re volunteering as an individual or with a group, your time and presence make a meaningful difference. Join us in spreading holiday cheer and helping every guest feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Helping Hands for the Holidays is a true community effort—and we welcome local professionals, businesses, and organizations who want to lend their time and talents to support our guests.

From health screenings and haircuts to entertainment, family activities, or resource booths, offering your services can create a lasting impact on those we serve.

One of the most impactful parts of Helping Hands for the Holidays is ensuring every guest leaves with a warm, "new-to-them" coat and essential personal care items. These donations provide comfort, dignity, and protection during the cold winter months. Find a drop-off location and help us spread warmth throughout the St. Charles community.
