Throughout the year, Project 4031 hosts fundraising events. Many hands make light work, and we always need volunteers who can help prepare for and execute the events. Examples of fundraising events include the breakfast in May, North Texas Giving Day in September, and the IMPACT dinner in November. There are opportunities for volunteers both during the workday and outside of normal workday hours.

Beautification volunteers help to make us look good! These volunteers help with things like decorating our office, helping with yard maintenance (planting flowers, bagging leaves, etc.), and keeping our storage spaces organized.

Wings volunteers continue the work begun through Funding for Families and Fulfilling Dreams. Every Thursday at noon, volunteers gather at the Project 4031 house to prepare little love offerings (usually, cookies, floral arrangements, or lap blankets) and deliver them to local patients and their families. After a preliminary training period, Wings volunteers have the opportunity to sign on to Share the Care. Share the Care volunteers commit to face-to-face companion care for hospice patients. These volunteers are vital to living our mission to improve end-of-life stories.

Just like any office, we could always use help with clerical tasks. These volunteers come in during regular work hours to help with jobs like filing, preparing mailings, data entry, scanning, and shredding.

On every application for assistance, patients have the opportunity to check a box to be added to our prayer list. Project 4031 Prayer Partners commit to pray for these patients and their families. Every Monday morning, the prayer list (with first names only) is emailed out to the Prayer Partners who will lift the patients and their families in prayer during the week. This volunteer opportunity is done on the volunteers’ own time and is an excellent service opportunity for individuals, families, or church groups.
