The Freddie Ford Family Foundation is seeking volunteers to help with our parent Wellness retreat.

Event Details:

March 29, 2025

9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Affton Community Center

This event is a vital opportunity for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities to take time for themselves-something often neglected due to the constant demands of caregiving.

As a volunteer, you can play a critical role in empowering these parents to focus on self-care. Through mindfulness, yoga, fitness, and nutrition workshops, we aim to help caregivers recharge and be better equipped to continue supporting their loved ones.

Show your commitment to supporting families in need. Your involvement directly benefits caregivers who often neglect their own well-being.

Parents of children with autism and other disabilities are some of the most selfless individuals. They dedicate their lives to the care of their loved ones, often putting their own health and happiness aside. This retreat is their chance to renew, refresh, and energize for the new year.

Volunteer Tasks:

  • Setup and breakdown of event
  • Checkin participants
  • Check-in children for childcare
  • Childcare activities and crafts
  • Speaker support
  • Vendor support
  • Food and refreshments
  • Event swag

Join us to be a part of a special event dedicated to supporting parents and caregivers.
