Volunteers play an integral role in helping Morrison achieve its mission
of serving Oregon’s most vulnerable children. The civic participation
of these caring individuals enriches the lives of the children we serve
and contributes to the leadership of the organization.

Members of the community who choose to donate their time and skills with nonprofits can make a priceless difference in the quality of service an organization provides to the public.

Thank you for your support!
