Get involved
When you give your time, skills, or platform to WPRP, you become part of a community that stands beside widowed parents in their darkest moments. There are many ways to get involved - find the one that fits you.
Make a difference with your time
Volunteers are the heartbeat of WPRP. Whether you're helping at events, providing administrative support, or using your professional skills to serve families, your time makes a tangible difference in the lives of widowed parents and their children.
Adopt a Family
Walk alongside a family as a group or individual, dedicating long term or short term support.
Other Ways to Volunteer
Help with Family Friendzy and other events, provide childcare during support groups and workshops, assist with administrative tasks and operations, offer your professional expertise (legal, financial, counseling, etc.), support fundraising efforts and community outreach.
Walk beside a Widowed family
Become a Family Friend and provide consistent, one-on-one support to a widowed parent and their children. This is more than volunteering - it's a meaningful relationship where you show up, help with practical needs, and become a steady presence during one of life's hardest seasons.
What family friends do
Commit to at least one year of support, help with home repairs, yard work, and household tasks, provide childcare or companionship for kids, assist with transportation and errands, offer encouragement and a listening ear.
What you'll gain
The privilege of walking beside a family through grief toward hope, deep friendships that often last long beyond the program, the joy of seeing children thrive when their parent has support, personal growth and perspective that changes how you see the world.
Align your business with our mission
Business partners help WPRP extend our reach and impact through financial support, in-kind donations, employee engagement, and community connections. When you partner with us, you're not just supporting a cause - you're investing in the stability and hope of widowed families in your community.

Mobilize your congregation to care for widows
Churches are uniquely positioned to live out the call in James 1:27 to care for widows and orphans. As a church partner, you can connect widowed families in your congregation with WPRP's support, mobilize volunteers from your community, and be part of long-term, meaningful ministry to widowed families.
Ways churches partner with us
Refer widowed families to WPRP programs, recruit Family Friends and volunteers from your congregation, host awareness events or fundraisers, provide meeting space for support groups, include WPRP in missions giving or benevolence support, or allow WPRP to speak with your ministry groups.
Together, we can ensure no widowed parent in our community faces grief alone.
