Believe In Tomorrow can only achieve the best for the children and families we serve with the help of the strong hands and willing hearts of our volunteers!

Volunteer of the Month

Volunteers extend our reach in several ways; they are ambassadors in our community and raise awareness of our organization, they connect with our families in compassion and their time and efforts ensure we can allocate 92% of every dollar for the direct benefit of our families.

There are many ways to become involved in the life of Believe In Tomorrow  - volunteer at any one of our facilities, work on a special project, or organize an effort to raise funds or wish list items.

If you would like to help – we would love to speak with you!  We have immediate volunteer opportunities available.  For more information, please contact us at 410-744-1032 or info@believeintomorrow.org

Winter 2009 Wish List Drives are going on now!
We are looking for volunteers to organize and host wish list drives for all of our facilities.  The wish lists are specific to each facility and include household items, food, toys, cleaning supplies, hygiene products and other things that families need while staying in the hospital and respite houses. Wish lists are available for The Children’s House at Johns Hopkins, The Children’s House By the Sea, The House on Wisp Mountain, and The House at Pinnacle Falls.  This is a great opportunity for a school, community, or social group to help with!
