A great way to help EMQ FamiliesFirst raise funds for a variety of children's programs is to become a volunteer at one of our auxiliaries.
These organized and motivated groups of volunteers demonstrate excellent leadership in coordinating major fundraising projects for the sole benefit of EMQ FamiliesFirst. They provide a broad base of community support as they raise annual funds for EMQ FamiliesFirst services and programs. We recognize the superlative efforts of these volunteers who contribute time and effort to help children and families.
