Guests often spend long days at clinic and miss meals. Sunflower Sacks help provide an easy snack for guests to bring with them to long clinic and enjoy! Decorate some bags, fill them with snacks, and drop them by to the home.
As with any home, Nora’s requires regular maintenance that takes more specialized skills. If you or a group offer any special skills or services and would like to help out, please contact us! Currently we are looking for help with the following projects:
Every year Nora’s Home hosts a Gala and Golf Classic that often require extra help. We are seeking reliable volunteers who feel comfortable assisting with registration, setting up displays, selling raffle tickets, or aiding with crowd management and other miscellaneous duties.
Occasionally we host other events that may not be recurring every year. If you have any interest in being invited to assist in any of our events, drop us a note!
