We are looking for some kind-hearted volunteers to join our team this summer! At Retts Roost, we aim to provide families that have suffered the loss of a child to cancer to weekend long getaways at our "heartquarters" in beautiful Ogunquit, Maine. We need some help with cooking for families (usually five families at a time), childcare, therapy of all kinds, and general help with our goals!
