Serve With Us
We Love Our Volunteers
We rely on the support of volunteers to help us serve the men, women and children of Wyoming. Without your continued support and service to the Mission, we wouldn’t be able to offer the restorative hospitality that allows our guests to experience the love of Christ.
Getting started is easy! Please review the volunteer opportunities below, read the WRM Volunteer Guidelines and complete the Volunteer Application, or contact our volunteer department at (307) 265-3002. Upon completion of the application, you can drop it off at our office.

If you or a group would like to be involved during Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter, volunteers are always needed and appreciated.
