Join the Mission

Volunteering with the Springfield-Clark Community Initiative is more than just lending a hand — it’s becoming part of a community that believes in neighbors helping neighbors. Whether you’re stocking shelves at the Open Hands Free Pantry, packing groceries through Operation Hunger, or greeting guests with a smile, your time and compassion make a real difference. No experience is necessary — just a willing heart and a desire to serve. Join us in building a stronger, more caring Springfield and Clark County, one act of kindness at a time.
