Thank you for your interest in starting a chapter!
Chapters are free groups established by SARD volunteers. Our chapters are able to do additional volunteer work such as making care packages, holding connections events, and having greater involvement in our holiday and seasonal events (this month we are working on our Thanksgiving Gift Giving event! Our chapters help us expand our impact to new geographic locations and help more people.
