How can I help?

What if nobody volunteered?

Volunteers and contributors are vital to the effective work and success of MHS -- especially in the current economy. Need for services has multiplied exponentially, and your involvement is critical.

While it would be easy to think that the efforts of just one person wouldn't be enough, at MHS one person can literally change hundreds of lives.

Opportunities for your involvement abound at our MHS program, whether it's as a mentor, a participant in a fund-raising event, telling someone about our services, or any of dozens of other vital roles. The fact that you've come to this page in the website indicates your willingness to get involved. And whether that involvement is directly with clients, or indirectly through some other avenue, we welcome it and encourage it. You've heard it before somewhere, but the person who benefits most from getting involved and volunteering or donating is you!
