    🎉 Events & Fundraising

    Be part of the energy that brings our mission to life in the community. From planning, promoting, and executing events you’ll help make our fundraisers a success. These roles are great for people who enjoy being social, creative, and hands-on—or who want to help just a few times a year in a big, meaningful way.

  • We're looking for volunteer champions

    While one-time help is always appreciated, we’re especially grateful for volunteers who feel called to step up consistently and lead with heart.

    We’re looking for Volunteer Champions — people who can:

    • Support events or outreach efforts with consistency
    • Lead small teams of volunteers
    • Recruit others in their community

    If you feel passionate about our mission and want to take a deeper role, just let us know in your form response — or reach out to us directly.

    Together, we can serve more families and help Gemma’s Hope grow.
