Volunteer with Us!
The Tim Griffith Foundation is a predominantly volunteer-operated organization dedicated to promoting peace, hope and healing in our communities. Each year, we rely on enthusiastic volunteers to support our operations and fundraising efforts, enabling us to have a significant impact in the San Francisco Bay Area for those struggling with addiction, violence and loss.
We are more than an organization, we are a family. From one-time events to ongoing support, we have a wide variety of opportunities to get involved. It is a great chance to give back to your community and have a great time doing it. Come join the family! For more information about volunteer opportunities, contact Volunteer Chair Lisa Perry.
Thank You to our Volunteers
Tim Griffith Foundation knows that the heart in our work comes from the hearts of our volunteers. We are humbled by and grateful for the time and talent our volunteers give in support of their communities. Up to 100 individuals come together under the direction of Volunteer Coordinator Lisa Perry before, during and after the Gala, and to support the Foundation activities all year ‘round. There are a few groups and individuals who have shown up in many ways over the years, including Bridges Program participants, members of Tim’s House, Pi Alpha Kappa fraternity from San Jose State University, Meadowlark mothers and family members, and event A/V specialists Riverview Systems of San Jose. TGF is a volunteer-only organization, and we are always in need of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer with us, please contact lperry@timgriffithfoundation.org.
