Volunteering with Thornwell

Volunteers make a boundless impact in the lives of those Thornwell serves because they give the gift of themselves. There’s no greater act of love than that. Your gifts are not limited by physical distance! You can make a difference by serving right from where you are. We always need and welcome volunteers, and there’s a special place in our ministry for your donations of time and talent.

If you’re ready to make a powerful impact in the lives of the children and families we serve, we’d love to talk with you! Contact our Community Engagement Coordinator, Jenny Turner, at 864-923-5127, or email her at jturner@thornwell.org.
