We like matching volunteers with what they are good at and what they like to do. Our opportunities complement a number of different skills and not only allow you to help your community but also the opportunity for you to practice, improve upon, or expand your skill-set.

Maybe you would like to hear from another volunteer what their experience has been like or to arrange for a tour for yourself or organization. If so, just let us know!

Testimonials

his place is great for people who need help or are going through rough times, they can help with food stamps, clothing, showers, food (to take home for those who have a home, or a meal Mon-Fri), they have computers available to use, they also have housing assistance for those who qualify. There is also a lot more that they do, this place helped me so much when I had nowhere to go.

Went to the One Stop Center and Turning Points today for a tour of the facility - was excellent and informative - if interested, make an appointment - takes about an hour and well worth the time to see all that is going on there - there were clients in all areas - the place was a beehive of activity - a wonderful facility for our community and one of the top in the country - highly recommend checking it out.

Turning points is so awesome. Without them I would not have a wonderful home for my family and I.

I volunteered at the Stand Down held in Palmetto on Nov. 1st. I was so impressed with the services available for the all those in need. There was a separate building just for veterans. I was in that building and saw how they helped the men and women with any paperwork. They serviced breakfast to all and had a bounce house for children. I give this organization an A+.
