Family Volunteering empowers families to work together in support of their communities and the Michigan Community Service Commission has compiled a list of needs across the state for families to serve together. These organizations represent a range of causes that allows family members to select from opportunities that embrace their values as a family.  Please consider signing up to volunteer with your family members.
