About

Mission:

SnowCap Community Charities is a philanthropic organization created to provide food, clothing, advocacy and other services to our neighbors in need.

Created in the 1960's by pastors, who thought that this area was not well served by social service agencies, SnowCap is now a broad base community service organization.

I have court mandated service to complete, can I get them at SnowCap?

Sometimes. We have a limited number of opportunities for court mandated service. Please contact [email protected] to see if there is availability.

I need community service hours for school, how can I get them?

We love to have students volunteer for their community service! Here is how to make your experience stress-free:

Plan ahead- Contact [email protected] a month or two ahead to get on the schedule since spots fill up.
Community service = volunteer hours- You cannot donate items or money instead of volunteering.
Don't wait until the last minute-If you contact us at the last minute, we likely will not be able to help you.
