Invest Your Time and Talents Transforming Lives

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Phoenix Rescue Mission. We’re honored that you would consider serving in this life-changing ministry — and we believe your time here will be well spent!

Volunteer Sign-up

To begin the process of serving at the Mission, you will need to create an account with VolunteerHub. This generally takes fewer than 5 minutes.

Our volunteers include groups from churches, businesses, government agencies, schools, and individuals from across the Valley who want to make a meaningful difference for their neighbors in need.

The most common volunteer role is working in our Hope for Hunger Food Bank in Glendale, but a host of flexible opportunities are available.

“I think it’s very rewarding to come here and help people. The Mission is so loving and caring. When I see the gratitude of these people’s faces and how happy they are to get help . . . knowing that I made a difference, it’s such a blessing.”
