Volunteers for a pregnancy and infant loss support group provide vital emotional support, assist with remembrance events, and distribute resources like grief support boxes. They help with administrative tasks, such as managing communications and organizing events, and contribute to fundraising and community outreach efforts to sustain the group's services. Additionally, they may participate in training to better support grieving families and educate the public to raise awareness and reduce stigma around pregnancy and infant loss. Their compassionate efforts ensure families feel supported and less alone during their healing journey.
