Volunteers are Essential to Lighting the Way

Volunteers like you are crucial in supporting Sunbeam’s mission. During fiscal year 2018-2019, 650 volunteers donated 1,950 hours of services, saving Sunbeam $49,588 in labor costs.  This is crucial to keeping Sunbeam’s admin and fundraising costs below 10 percent – so we can help more of our central Oklahoma neighbors.

Sunbeam Family Services is committed to your health and well-being. We are taking all available precautions and want to make sure you are aware of the measures the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) is recommending to stop the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Due to COVID-19, volunteer opportunities are temporarily postponed.

You can be a Light to Children, Families and Seniors
