Volunteer with Immigrants and Refugees in Cincinnati!

Heartfelt Tidbits is 100% volunteer-based. We welcome all forms of commitment, whether it be for a single commitment or a regular commitment.

What is it like to volunteer at Heartfelt Tidbits?

It’s so rewarding and makes me so happy because I have had an impact on the kids. Something I’m doing is paying off, and they know they have somebody in their corner and that they can go to.
— Ella Hummel
There is no other place like Heartfelt Tidbits with the staff and volunteers here. They are so passionate about the people coming here and immigrants and immigration.

Transport

Volunteer Opportunities

One of the most important and constant needs we have here at Heartfelt Tidbits is assistance with transportation. We always need volunteers to pick up and drop off our newest neighbors. We carry insurance for drivers. This volunteer opportunity can be added to another task, or it can be a standalone option.
