Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer your time and energy to make the day of one of our queens or heroes a little brighter. Whether you wish to visit with the children, volunteer to help raise funds, make blankets, there is a job for you to serve our organization.

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers! Just a couple of reminders:

Volunteers must have a volunteer form on file PRIOR to working at an event. Our volunteer forms can be found on our Web site at www.detroitqfad.com/QFAD_Volunteer_form.pdf.

The organization Code of Conduct is important to understand, Please review it at www.detroitqfad.com/Volunteer_code_of_Conduct.pdf.

Volunteers may not bring friends or family members without the prior approval of the event coordinator. We are limited to the number of volunteers we can bring to each event.

Do not attend an event if you are not feeling well. Most of the children we visit are very susceptible to illness. Make sure you let the event coordinator know as soon as possible if you cannot attend.

Volunteers must wear a name tag. This is for your safety as well as the children we visit. The event coordinator will have name tags available.

We ask that no shorts or tank tops be worn at the hospital visits. QFAD/Heroes t-shirts are always a good option. Check out the options on our Web site at www.detroitqfad.com/donations.html.


Comforting Blankets

Volunteers are needed to make blankets that we can give to Queens and Heroes through our private visits. Blankets can be any size, color, pattern, and for girls or boys. They can be knitted, crocheted, sewn or the soft fleece blankets that are knotted. This will be an on-going project and the blankets can be brought to the meetings, dropped off at Esther’s house, or arrangements can be made for Esther to pick up the finished blankets. Contact Esther at qfad.heroes@gmail.com or by phone 248 217-7656 for arrangements.
Queen Bee
  • No queen bees needed at this time.

Queen Notes

Royal Notes is a pen pal program for children undergoing treatment for cancer. QFAD will match volunteers up with a child they can send letters, stickers, packages, etc. to that will help keep their self-esteem up and give them something to look forward to while going through treatment.

Stationary, stickers, and other items to use in these “gifts” may be available for you to send to your pen pal from QFAD, but there may be some costs such as postage or extra gifts you would like to send that we do not provide.

If you are interested in being a “Royal Writer” please respond by email to Dena Raminick at PartyQueenDena@gmail.com. Due to overwhelming response, we are currently not accepting new Royal Writers.
