Matthew's Ministry (Special Needs)

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:

  • 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 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.

Angel Care One-On-One Support:
