Below are some ways you can volunteer in our community through Floris UMC. For more information about any of these programs, contact Donna Porter at dporter@florisumc.org.
Current Opportunities

Guests receive a hot dinner, breakfast, a place to sleep, a shower and the opportunity to participate in a variety of evening activities. Our volunteers are vital to making Floris Guest House a welcoming and safe environment.
