Volunteer opportunities

Adriel relies on volunteers to help with our Annual Quilt Auction, Golf Scrambles, various service projects throughout the year and in countless other ways. Our volunteers come in a variety of different ages, genders, skills and experiences. Youth groups, Bible schools, Sunday school classes, community groups and individuals all give their time generously to benefit the troubled children that we serve. If you would like more information about volunteering at Adriel, please contact Terri McGarry at (937) 465-0010 ext 113 or tmcgarry@adriel.org.

Kits for Kids Project
Many youth arrive at Adriel with only the shirt on their back. Some come carrying their
belongings in trash bags. We have, over the years, made an effort to improve the lives of
the children that pass through our doors in many ways. One way is that we give every
child that comes into our residential and foster care services a duffel bag. This is a nice,
large bag which contains a comforter (donated by our church friends), and a teddy bear
kit. These items are theirs to keep. Many churches, youth groups, organizations and
individuals help with these much needed kits. If you would like to help, the kits we use
are listed below:
