Get Involved
Friends of the Cecil exists because people choose to care. Every meal served, every grocery shelf stocked, every item in the Free Boutique, and every conversation that offers hope is made possible through the generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, and community partners.
Whether you have an hour to volunteer, a box of food to donate, or the ability to support our work financially, there is a place for you in this community.
Make a Financial Gift
Your financial support allows Friends of the Cecil to respond quickly to the changing needs of our residents. Donations help provide food, clothing, wellness programming, household essentials, and the resources that make our intentional supportive community possible.
Host a Food Collection Box
Invite your church, workplace, school, or civic organization to become a community partner by hosting a Friends of the Cecil food collection box. Food drives provide a steady supply of pantry staples and help ensure our Food Bank shelves remain stocked throughout the year.
Whether your collection lasts a week or becomes an ongoing program, every donation helps support our residents.
Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart of Friends of the Cecil. Whether serving Coffee & Toast, stocking the Food Bank, organizing the Free Boutique, welcoming residents, or sharing a professional skill, every volunteer helps create a stronger community.
No special experience is required—only compassion, respect, and a willingness to be present. We believe that some of the most meaningful work begins with a simple conversation.
