Join our upcoming Spring Pack-a-Thon and help us reach 500 backpacks. Most of our core donors started as volunteers.
Volunteering with Touch of Terra is more than giving back—it's about building community, creating connections, and being part of meaningful change.
See the immediate difference your efforts make in someone's day. Every backpack you help prepare provides essential supplies and shows someone that their community cares.
Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for helping others. Our volunteer community is supportive, welcoming, and committed to positive change.
Gain new perspectives on homelessness and social justice while developing skills in community organizing, advocacy, and compassionate service.
We offer opportunities that fit various schedules and availability. Whether you have an hour a week or a day a month, there's a way to contribute.
Join our core mission by helping to assemble 500 backpacks filled with essential items, food, and hygiene supplies. Volunteers will sort donations, pack bags, and add personal notes of encouragement.
Be the face of Touch of Terra by distributing the 500 packed backpacks directly to individuals experiencing homelessness in Louisville. Connect people with resources and compassion.
Help us prepare for the colder months by packing backpacks with winter survival gear, warm clothing, and essential food items.

Not at all! We welcome volunteers of all experience levels. We provide orientation and training for all our volunteer roles, and our experienced team members are always available to help guide new volunteers.
We appreciate any time you can offer! Some volunteers help for just a few hours a month, while others are involved weekly. We work with your schedule to find volunteer opportunities that fit your availability.
We welcome volunteers aged 16 and up. Volunteers under 18 need parent/guardian consent and may have some restrictions on certain activities for safety reasons. We also love having family volunteer groups!
