The heart and soul of Nana’s House are our volunteers. We are always in need of more community members to commit their time, efforts, and talents to help us provide a safe and loving home for the children in our care.

Nana’s House, a home for children in need, is a Brevard County 501c3 non-profit organization. Our Thrift Store, fundraisers, and donations are our only means of support as we do not receive any government money. We have no paid employees and 100% of the money we receive goes to supporting the children.

We have many volunteer opportunities

  • You can work daily, once or twice a week, monthly or on an as needed basis for special projects.

  • Training is provided for those jobs that require it.

  • The Thrift Store is open Monday – Saturdays 10:00am – 4:00pm.

Thrift Store Volunteer Positions

Thrift Store Volunteer Positions include: greeting customers, accept, sort and price donations, working at the register, bagging purchased items, staging, equipment testing, helping customers on the floor, handyman work, cleaning/dusting, etc.

Donation Pick-ups: We have a team of 3 that pick up large items, such as furniture, twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays). As a pick-up volunteer you would receive training. We welcome your own truck and friends!

Yard work: We have a lawn service that cuts the lawns, but we need volunteers to weed the beds, trim back plants and shrubs, etc. You can choose your hours and days on a weekly, monthly, bi-monthly basis.

Special Projects

Throughout the year, special projects are planned. These could include Tent Sales, Christmas in July, and toy sales at Christmas time, dinner dance event, 5K event, golf event or helping to pack up an entire household of donated items.

If you would like to get involved with Nana’s House in any of these capacities, we’d love to have you and we would welcome your support as we continue to help local children and youth in our community.
