Immediate Needs
Become A Mentor
These powerful, rewarding relationships bring hope for children in our care, impacting their lives for the better. As a mentor, you are an extended network of support for the child — sharing in birthday parties, holidays and church activities, attending events like ball games and recitals, teaching a teen to drive and so much more.
Become A Volunteer
Our volunteers provide much-needed support through a number of initiatives. Palmer Home's volunteers provide support in a number of ways — through support at events, at holiday initiatives, and more. From wrapping gifts at Christmas to helping plant produce or flowers in our Hope Grows Garden, volunteers can choose from a number of roles.
Respite Care
Make an impact in the lives of both children and houseparents! Being a Respite Caregiver means providing short-term care (1–3 nights) for children at Palmer Home. Respite Caregivers commit to serving once a month or every other month to ensure they are building relationships with the children they care for and the caregivers they support.
Grounds Care
Our campus, outside Hernando, Mississippi, sits on a sprawling 150 acres. Maintaining a clean campus is important to us, and it takes many people to make that possible! Care includes landscaping and maintaining seasonal flower beds.
