Volunteer at MIFA


 

Do you know how much your time is worth to MIFA? Every hour you volunteer is like a $21.36 donation - that means that, when you spend an hour stuffing envelopes or assembling gift bags or addressing holiday cards, you save MIFA $21.36.That's over $170 for one day of work!


So even if you can't donate money, MIFA has a place for you. Our volunteers mean the world to us. Without the help of 3,000 volunteers every year and nearly 100 volunteers every day, we couldn't do all we do.
