We treat your information with the same care and respect we’d want for our own.
Last updated: February 2026
No Selling
We never sell your personal data to anyone.
Only What's Needed
We only collect what helps us connect with you.
Secure Storage
Your data is kept safe and access is limited.
What information we collect
We collect information primarily when you choose to give it to us. This happens when you:
- Fill out a contact form or sign up for updates (Name, Email).
- Register to volunteer (Contact info, interests, availability).
- Make a donation (processed securely through our payment partners; we do not store full credit card numbers).
- Share a story with us (only what you choose to share).
How we use it
We use this information to do the work you asked us to do. Specifically:
- To Communicate: Responding to your questions or sending updates you signed up for.
- To Coordinate: Organizing volunteer schedules or events.
- To Report: We use aggregated (non-identifiable) data to show our impact to funders and the community (e.g., "100 volunteers joined us this year").
What we do NOT do
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising tracking across other websites.
How we protect it
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. Access to personal information is restricted to staff and authorized volunteers who need it to perform their specific roles. We review these practices regularly to ensure they meet our community standards.
External Links
Our website may contain links to other sites (like partner organizations or resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies if you visit them.
