Every child deserves a safe, loving environment to grow, learn, and thrive. Unfortunately, many at-risk youth face challenges that make this difficult—whether it’s unstable housing, lack of essential resources, or the absence of a strong support system.
At Burlington United Methodist Family Services, we work to provide these children with the care and opportunities they deserve. But we can’t do it alone. If you’re looking for ways to make a meaningful impact, there are several ways you can give back, whether through volunteering your time or donating to support our programs.
Volunteer Opportunities: Give Your Time and Talent
Giving your time can be just as valuable as financial contributions. Here are some ways to volunteer and make a direct difference in a child’s life:
Help with Events and Fundraisers
Throughout the year, Burlington United Methodist Family Services hosts various events and fundraisers to support our mission. Volunteers are always needed to help organize, set up, and engage with the community to raise awareness and funds.
Become a Foster Parent
One of the most impactful ways to give back is to open your home to a child in need. Foster parents play a crucial role in providing a stable and nurturing environment until a child can be reunited with their family or find a permanent home.

Ways to Donate: Support Through Giving
If volunteering isn’t an option for you, donations—whether monetary or in-kind—are another powerful way to help. Here are a few ways to contribute:
Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation
Your financial support goes directly toward providing food, clothing, shelter, counseling, and education for at-risk youth. Even a small monthly donation can make a significant impact over time.
Sponsor a Child’s Holiday or Back-to-School Needs
Every child deserves to experience the joy of the holidays and feel confident heading into a new school year. You can sponsor a child by providing gifts, school supplies, or funds for special experiences.
Organize a Donation Drive
Want to get your workplace, church, or community involved? Hosting a donation drive for clothing, school supplies, or holiday gifts is a fantastic way to multiply your impact.
Every Contribution Matters
Whether you volunteer your time or donate resources, your generosity has the power to transform lives. By supporting at-risk youth through Burlington United Methodist Family Services, you’re not just offering help—you’re offering hope.
