As our flagship volunteer program, Children’s Guild members are a key element to our children’s well-being by bringing joy. They contribute throughout the year by supporting birthdays, a summer book club, and special events like holiday drives, the golf classic, and the annual gala that benefit the children living at Five Acres. Annual dues are $100.

General & Special Events Volunteer

Help during special events, such as our gala, golf tournament, holiday toy drive, and others. Let us know what you have in mind! No annual dues.

Let us know if you would like to sponsor an event. We will be happy to work together and create a meaningful experience for the Five Acres’ kids.
