We utilize over 1,000 volunteers in the months leading up to a Mansion but especially during the daily business hours of the Mansion in the month of May.

Event Fundraisers
In off-Mansion in May years, WAMMC organizes event fundraisers which require a variety of different volunteers leading up to the event and the day of the event.
