“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18
Thank you for your interest in serving with Miracle Hill Ministries. As you may be aware, Miracle Hill has several different facilities with many volunteer needs. Miracle Hill Ministries has facilities in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Cherokee Counties that house, feed, and counsel homeless children and adults all with the mission to share the love and Good News of Jesus Christ! We also operate eight Upstate thrift stores that generate revenue to support the services we provide.
You most likely have already spoken to a Miracle Hill Ministries’ staff member and have started the process of becoming a volunteer. Please click the area of the Ministry (Thrift, Shelter, or Food Warehouse) on the green bar below in which you would like to serve. Then, follow the steps in that section to complete your registration as a volunteer.
