Volunteer at the Groves Gala
We are seeking 40 volunteers to help create a welcoming, seamless, and memorable experience from start to finish.
Volunteers support key moments throughout the night, from preparing the space and organizing auction items to greeting guests, assisting with check-in, supporting interactive games, and capturing meaningful moments. Every role helps set the tone and ensures guests feel connected, cared for, and inspired.
It is a hands-on, energizing way to contribute to a mission rooted in confidence, belonging, and opportunity.

Groves Seniors In Action
Caught these seniors mid-mission, helping shuttle plants back from Frank’s office (clearly thriving under his care!), and couldn’t resist this perfect pause by the bulletin board. A little kindness, a little teamwork, and a whole lot of growth.
