Volunteer Appreciation Week 2025

The kitchen and the laundry rooms are where you’ll find most of our volunteers, but we also have a few out-of-the-box opportunities for people to get involved! Our Detox program brings in volunteers for different types of programming like yoga, acupuncture, and art therapy. We caught up with several of our regular volunteers as well as one of our newest volunteers who’s been teaching yoga classes for our Detox clients to hear about their experience volunteering with Alpha House.
