In addition to their passion for growing healthy families with their personalized healthcare technology, Wildflower Health focuses on giving back to their community. Wildflower Health partners with Raphael House to provide financial contributions, in-kind donations, and volunteers. Lately, Wildflower Health volunteers can be found at Raphael House preparing and serving delicious dinners or gardening in our rooftop garden.
We deeply value our partnership and appreciate Wildflower Health’s help in keeping a clean, safe, and stable Residential Shelter for homeless families. If you are interested in getting your organization involved, you can find more information about corporate volunteer opportunities here on our website. While many of our group volunteer activities have been put on pause in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Raphael House looks forward to welcoming many more volunteers once it is safe to do so again.
