Volunteering is Food for the Soul

The feeling of giving reaches deep within our soul and helps connect our spirit to a cause greater than ourselves. Homer’s Backyard Ball has been blessed to build relationships with an amazing team of volunteers in our history. We would enjoy the opportunity to have you join us on our mission of raising funds that help people right here in our community.

This year, we will hold volunteer training sessions. YOU MUST ATTEND ONE of these training sessions to volunteer. We will ask you to complete your application and meet each of the directors.

We expect this year to be even bigger and better, but we know it can’t happen without our wonderful volunteers.

We can never tell our volunteers “THANK YOU” enough. You are the backbone of this event and will continue to be so. As a volunteer you help make sure everyone is safe and having a good time.
