Get Involved

We are a group of people who believe in showing up for others when it matters most

For us, glitter is more than just sparkle—it’s a symbol of hope, love, and the caring spirit that brings our community together. Every act of kindness is a way to shine light into someone’s life during challenging times. As a volunteer, you become the heart that connects hope and healing for families who need it most. Your time, compassion, and energy make all the difference—whether you’re packing care packages, helping with laundry, or simply offering a smile.

We are a 100% volunteer-powered organization, and we truly can’t do it without you. Ready to make a real impact? Get involved with Glitter Guild and help us glitter with love.

Personalized Support

Personalized support plans are designed to meet families where they are and respond to their most immediate needs. From rides to medical appointments and grocery deliveries to help with everyday tasks, this support brings comfort, relief, and a sense of stability during a family’s journey after a diagnosis.

Meal Support

Each week, families receive a home-cooked meal through the Weeknight Meal Program, giving them a break from cooking and time to enjoy being together.

In addition, Saturday Sweets delivers care packages with baked or purchased treats, while Snack Prep provides ready-to-enjoy healthy fruits and vegetables for the week. Together, these efforts offer both practical support and small moments of joy, reminding families they are cared for and never alone.

Laundry Support

Laundry support provides practical relief when life feels overwhelming. Bags are picked up on Thursdays and returned the next day, clean and neatly folded. By taking this task off a family’s plate, the program helps ease stress and creates more space for rest, connection, and healing.

Events
and Joy

Moments of joy are intentionally woven into the support we provide. Thoughtfully planned events and joyful surprises bring light to difficult days, creating opportunities for connection, celebration, and lasting memories when families need them most.

There are many ways to support our mission

Not everyone is able to volunteer their time, but every act of generosity helps us show up for families when they need it most. Donations allow Glitter Guild to continue providing meaningful support, thoughtful moments of joy, and consistent care to families facing serious illness. Whether you give your time, make a gift, or do both, your support directly fuels our mission—and reminds families that their community is standing beside them.

Community partners shine bright for families

Community partnerships are at the heart of Glitter Guild’s impact. The work we do is made possible by businesses, organizations, schools, and individuals who believe in showing up when it matters most. When values align, the community grows stronger.

Our partners extend our reach and deepen our ability to support those who are facing a medical hardship or cancer diagnosis. From providing meals and services to offering sponsorships, resources, and time, these collaborations allow us to meet those we serve with consistency, care, and compassion. We are deeply grateful for every partner who chooses to stand alongside us and help make this mission possible.
