A visit from you can truly brighten the day of our St. Mary’s Home family members, and you might find that it brings you joy, too!
Whether you assist with practical needs or simply listen to Residents’ stories, your presence matters. There are also opportunities for “hidden” service, and for occasional help with holidays and events; we’re grateful for any way that you can help with our work. If you’re interested in helping in a way not listed here, we’re happy to talk!
Interested in volunteering? Please contact Tayler Liedke at (773) 935-9600 or volchicago@littlesistersofthepoor.org We do ask that all volunteers are fully vaccinated and over the age of 18.
