Volunteering
We would like to thank our community of supporters for their patience while we establish our volunteer program. We will have a wide variety of volunteer needs at Brigid’s Path. Our volunteers are an important part of Brigid’s Path and it is important that we develop a program that will be successful for babies, their families, and our volunteers.
