VOLUNTEER

Missing GRACE Foundation is a volunteer led organization. The gifts, skills and tender hearts of our volunteers are vital to all that we do for the families we serve.

Volunteers can help from anywhere and right from their own home! Key volunteer roles include: community relations, hospital liaison, clinic liaison, volunteer coordinator, office manager, support group facilitators, event planning committee, fundraising, grant writers, social media specialist and many others. Volunteers who are skilled at sewing, knitting, crocheting, jewelry making and card making are also key roles with our organization. 

⇒ We are currently in need of knitted and crocheted baby hats and blankets as well as sewers to make burial gowns from donated wedding dresses and fabric!! Please reference our guidelines for what colors, sizing and materials are accepted.

To join us as a volunteer, please let us know where you would like to help and serve!

START A SUPPORT GROUP IN YOUR AREA

Training, lesson materials and support are provided to GRACE Support Group Facilitators. There are many families in search of support who cannot find a local group in their area at this time. Help us ensure that no family has to go this journey alone without support! The men and women who attend our groups share what a vital role the group had in their healing and survival. Every member has stated in their evaluations of the group, how important it was to connect with others who understood from personal experience what they were going through. If you are a bereaved parent and are ready to give back in honor of your child and help others, this may be an ideal way to start!

If you are interested in facilitating and starting a GRACE Support Group in your area, please contact us.

START A HOPE & HEARTS EVENT IN YOUR AREA

The first Hope & Hearts Run/Walk was held in Minnesota in 2005. April and Dan Wurst and Candy and Steve McVicar founded Hope & Hearts Run and began hosting the event in honor of their daughters, Kaila and Grace, who were both stillborn due to cord issues at 38 and 33 weeks gestation respectively. Proceeds from Hope & Hearts Run/Walks fund the Missing GRACE Foundation programs and services which are free to families in need of support after a pregnancy or infant loss, infertility or adoption challenges.

Would you like to create an event in honor of your baby that will help provide resources and support for families who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss, and will fund programs that prevent further loss for others? We invite you to partner with Missing GRACE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, to create a Hope & Hearts event in your area! Hope & Hearts is about hope for the future through education and research and supporting the hearts of families who have lost to move forward. Help make a difference and join us as we…Run. Walk. Give Families Hope!

The Hope & Hearts 5K Run/Walk is a success because of all the help of so many wonderful volunteers!  

Help us grow Hope & Hearts Run/Walks into many other states and host events such as golf benefits and extreme sport challenges. Hope & Hearts events have been held in Texas in memory of Payton, in New Mexico in memory of Blakey, in Kentucky in memory of Gracie, and in Ohio in memory of Annabelle.

Please contact us to discuss your ideas and our opportunities for facilitating a Hope & Hearts event in your community.
