We Love Our Volunteers
Getting started is easy! We have two main ways to get involved: our kitchen volunteer program requires an application and scheduled shifts to help prepare and serve meals to those we serve. If you're interested in volunteering at our Rescued Treasures Thrift Store, simply stop by the store during business hours—no application needed! Our thrift store team welcomes walk-in volunteers who can help with sorting donations, organizing merchandise, and assisting customers.
Please review the volunteer opportunities below and complete the Volunteer Application online.
Prefer to apply in person? You can print and drop off your application at our office.

Rescued Treasures Thrift Store
Rescued Treasures is a ministry of Wyoming Rescue Mission. We are always in need of volunteers when it comes to processing donations, sorting items, and cleaning the store.
Events
Wyoming Rescue Mission holds many different events and fundraisers throughout the year. Fishin’ for the Mission is WRM’s largest annual event. Volunteers can assist with planning, making phone calls, distributing flyers, and more. If you are creative, organized, and/or interested in event planning, this is a valuable way to help.
Holidays
During the holidays, Wyoming Rescue Mission has many specific needs for food, preparing and serving meals, and even decorating. The cold winter months bring more men, women, and children in need to our doors. If you or a group would like to be involved during Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter, volunteers are always needed and appreciated.
Maintenance
We are often in need of light electrical work, such as replacing switches, receptacles and lights; light plumbing work, such as unclogging drains, replacing faucets and repairing fixtures.
Also, general carpentry and landscaping, including maintenance of sprinkler systems. General maintenance, such as painting, cleaning air ducts and replacing filters.
Other tasks as directed by our maintenance coordinator.
Teach
Foster the love of Christ through Biblical studies. Volunteer opportunities include recovery training for a multitude of life issues or addictive behaviors, training of life fundamentals, and informing staff of issues brought up in class that should be addressed.
Provide in an area in which you professionally operate! Skills like resume building, personal finance, health management, etc., are all great examples for our guests to learn as they try to find jobs and transition back to independent living.
Street Outreach
This is a great opportunity to help the homeless in Casper. We meet at Park Street Center for orientation and then partner up and hit the streets. During our outreach we share water, coffee, prayer & support, and spread awareness about Wyoming Rescue Mission resources.
