The People Behind the Place

David’s House is a house because of the roof, the walls, the rooms, and the beds.

David’s House is a warm and welcoming home because of the people who keep the doors open 365 days a year.

Volunteers

David’s House is able to operate with a very small paid staff because of the wonderful volunteers who give their time and energy baking, cooking, answering phones, checking guests in and out, participating in events, making quilts, and simply talking with guests. Our volunteers come from all walks of life but have one thing in common, their unwavering commitment to supporting families during in their most trying times.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors is a body of appointed members who jointly oversee and steer the direction and health of David’s House. They donate their time and energy to, and like all volunteers, their dedication to our mission is unshakable.

Our president emeritus is Dick Cyr, David’s father and the founder of David’s House. He is still heavily involved and passionate about our mission. Listen to Dick tell E-town Radio the story of David’s House or watch him tell his story in this short video.
