Volunteer Testimonials
[Volunteer] and it will positively impact your perspective on a lot of things that are important — society, people, and life… Sincere human connections and a sense of community are what the LVRM has offered me, which gives me a sense of belonging and made me feel more whole as a person.
~ Ryan T.
I love participating in what the Lord is doing through rescue missions, changing hearts, minds, and lives by meeting spiritual and practical needs. I really appreciated that before the meal, someone from the line prayed for everyone!
~ Donna G.
I love the interaction with everyone — both volunteers and homeless. Just smiling and thanking them for being there seems to make them smile… I actually look forward to my volunteer days and miss it if I can’t attend. Wonderful, positive, and good Christians!
~ Eric M.
Volunteer FAQ’s
What is the time commitment to volunteer at LVRM?

Minors aged 14–15 MUST be with an supervising adult at all times, who also needs to register for the same shift. Minors aged 16-17 may volunteer on their own, if they have a vehicle that remains on campus during service or they are with another volunteer 16+ who has vehicle on campus.
