Volunteer Opportunities in Forsyth County
We’re getting lots of questions about finding local volunteer opportunities in Forsyth County and throughout Cumming. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s a great reminder to help our community (now & throughout the year). We started updating our list and then turned to Facebook for some help too. Below, we’ve linked to volunteer pages of some recommended organizations. This is just meant to serve as a starting point – definitely click on the links &/or call the organizations that you might have a passion for and see how you can get involved!
Here are some organizations to check out:
- Abba House
- Act Together Ministries
- Age Well Forsyth
- Cumming Ministries & Thrift Store
- Family Haven
- Feed the Hungry Forsyth
