Volunteer Opportunities
Matthew’s Ministry would not be possible without the help from our dedicated volunteers. Not only will you be a blessing to a Matthew’s Ministry family, but the joy you will receive from such an opportunity is priceless!
Family Night Out is one of the most popular events for our families and occurs once a month on a Saturday evening. Numerous volunteers are needed to make our events a success! Volunteers are paired with participants with special needs (or a sibling) for a themed night of dinner, crafts, games and other activities, while their parents/caregivers take a well-deserved night off.
For more information, contact Lily Caudill.

Special Needs Care Website
One of the biggest asks by our families is for quality care providers! Whether it be after school care, an evening for a date night, or transportation to events, it is a challenge for our families to find the care needed. Please prayerfully consider adding your information to this website to be a care provider for a family in need!
